RECENT MEETING REVIEW
The Delaware County Retired Teachers Association met on December 2nd in the Compassion Center for its Holiday Luncheon and 6th Annual Silent Auction. Pam Young presented games with a “Peppermint” theme for the members and guests who also enjoyed box lunches from The Rutherford Cafe. A holiday themed music program was provided by the musical group The Outsiders. The silent auction raised over $300, half of which will be donated locally to People In Need along with paper goods brought in by the members. President Carolyn Kneisly conducted a brief business meeting in which she reminded members that DCRTA is in urgent need of volunteers for various offices. The next meeting will be held on March 10, 2023. |

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:
In the photos above Carolyn Kneisly, President of The Delaware County Retired Teachers Association, presents books to children of three of the most recent Habitat for Humanity of Delaware & Union Counties homeowners. Both homes are located in Delaware.
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.
NOTE: During the pandemic Habitat for Humanity continued to build homes but the dedications have been for families only. DCRTA stored our books at the Habitat office and suggested that they present a book to the children in our stead.
