Member Entilements

Membership entitles retirees to receive ERTA’s newsletter four times a year. The newsletter provides up-to-date information about activities  (e.g. theatre, tours, etc.) as well as issues for retired teachers.

There are four major luncheons held each year with an agenda, short meeting and entertainment or speaker. Often these guest speakers discuss subjects of importance or relevant to members such as health insurance, pensions, security issues, travel, and updates on pensions. Other times we have fun, entertainment and/or music.

ERTA provides opportunities for social interaction with colleagues, old friends and opportunities to make new ones.

Members are given the opportunity to take tours, attend theatre and join in other activities at reduced group rates.
