Series of Necessary Retirement Benefits

Dear Colleague:

True to our mission, we have introduced a series of necessary retirement benefits:

An Insurance program to reduce the group rate by $2,000, repayment of the takings of
$60,000,000 in 2008 from our Health Insurance Premium Account, the return of our Cost of Living Account and the removal of our double taxation on our income. We are only one of five states that does that.

Included in your materials today is a petition to our legislators. Yes, we have a voice for these issues but we need a choir to draw attention.

Please fill out the information listed on the back and mail it to your legislators. Their names are listed on the back. I don't know why you would not put your name on the sheet but at least put down your first name. If you live outside Connecticut forward the document to our Treasurer, Denise Nappier, Comptroller, Kevin Limbo, Office of Policy and Management, Benjamin Barnes or our Governor D. Malloy.

We wrote the concepts for law 6141 which now has protected our pension and provides our checks for the rest of our lives. Our pension has grown more than $2,000,000,000 since #6141 was passed.

Let our political leaders hear from us. It is not their fault that they do not know of our plight. There are no excuses when they hear from us.

Please note that our Southern Fairfield County Retired Teacher Association does spend our dues monies to promote your best interest. If you are not a member please join. These are your interests and we need each of you to support them.

Finally, I'm pleased to announce that Mrs. Barbara Driscoll has completed her
extended service to us as our Treasurer. We could not ask more from her. Mr. Frank
Cooper has honored us by taking on this task. The last day of June of this school year I will retire. This has been a major part of my life and fifty years is enough. Thank You.

October 19, 2011, General Meeting at the Continental Manor, Norwalk,Ct.at 10:00 a.m. Speaker will be James Sterling.
