The Way It Is
When I retired, we had a healthy and active organization for retired school employees. Today, the way it is, more than 10 years later, we can't field an officer slate. Members who were active when I joined had been members for over 10 years at that time. Now these members who are still living are limited by age and ill health. New retirees are busy with other things. They don't really know us and they haven't been interested in joining us. Today, we, the executive committee have had to face these facts and make the decision to disband our group. We've done this reluctantly but we can't keep the organization alive without new interest, and that new interest just isn't there. Today's retirees are taking other jobs or travelling or moving to warmer climates. Who can blame them? None of us. But it's still a sad decision that we've had to make today.
