RECENT MEETING REVIEW
The fall meeting was held at noon in the Terrace Room, Willow Brook Christian Village, on September 13, 2019. Members completed a fall themed game with the winner receiving a prize. New attendees were recognized and presented a bag of goodies. A delicious lunch was served; DCRTA provided candy cups and ice cream for dessert. There was a short business meeting in which a new slate of officers was proposed.
After lunch, Kelsey Fox, a United Way representative for the Willis Education Center, skillfully used a slide presentation help explain the multitude of ways that United Way is helping children and families at the Willis Education Center and elsewhere in Delaware County.
Monetary donations for September were collected for Red Cross of Central Ohio.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY: DCRTA has partnered with the local Habitat for Humanity chapter. Use the Links button at the top of this page to access their website. It provides members with opportunities to assist in Habitat's work.
Local chapter involvement and photos above:
The Delaware County Retired Teachers Association donated books to the children of the most recent Habitat for Humanity of Delaware & Union Counties homeowners. In the Spring of 2019 DCRTA President Carolyn Kneisly presented books at two home dedications in Delaware, OH.
History: In 2016, after speaking to local Habitat officials who indicated they needed books for children of home owners, DCRTA embarked on a group project to gift a book to each child moving into a new Habitat house in Delaware County. For the past few years DCRTA has purchased age appropriate books focused on homes and shelter for various age levels. Recently members have augmented our supply by donating books at meetings. DCRTA is proud to join other chapters across Ohio in this collaborative effort to help those in need.
