Dear GCPS Retirees,

Congratulations on your retirement! So many new opportunities will be opening for you. Let me be the first to invite you to join our Gwinnett County Retired Educators Association (GCREA). 

If you are interested in keeping up-to-date on educational issues, staying connected with peers, enjoying lunch in a country-club atmosphere, and continuing to use your talents, then GCREA is the organization for you.  Seven entertaining and informative luncheon meetings are planned for 2009-2010 to be held at the Hamilton Mill Country Club on the third Friday of September, November, February, March, April, May, and the second Friday in December.  Our three key objectives are Fellowship, Service, and Support.

GCREA service projects include Hands Are Not for Hitting (puppets teach lessons about not bullying), scholarships for aspiring educators and current educators, Read across Gwinnett, and contributions to the Gwinnett Children’s Shelter. Additionally, we recognize our members’ participation in community service, honor our emeritus members, and memorialize those who have passed away. We support one another as friends and colleagues who have devoted our lives to educating children.

Please fill out the GCREA membership application available on our webpage.  Keeping in touch is keeping informed. I look forward to seeing you at our future meetings.

Sincerely,

Nita Hallford

GCREA President
