The HCRTA Executive Committee has been busy planning for the November General Meeting and it promises to be a good one to attend.
The meeting will be held November 5th from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM at the Ponderosa Banquet Center on South High Street in Hillsboro ( 545 S High St, Hillsboro, OH 45133 ). The meal will be a Ponderosa buffet meal with ham as main meat along with a nice variety of vegetables, salad, bread and desert. The featured speaker will be Tamla Cole, from STRS. She will update us on the status of our retirement benefits and health care plans. Given the concern surrounding your COLAs and the rising cost of health care, this would be a great meeting to attend AND to bring along a retiree friend or two. Be sure to take a look at what ORTA has to say about their effort to restore the COLA here. The November service project is "Soles for Students". This month is also officer election. Keep a look out for the forthcoming newsletter and lunch reservation form. On Friday, October 5, 2018 HCRTA Officers and Executives Bob Hottle, Doris Pulse, Mary Black, and Kevin Black attended the ORTA Southwest Region President's/Officers Meeting at the Montgomery County ESC in Dayton Ohio.
