RECENT MEETING REVIEW
The spring meeting was held at noon in the Terrace Room, Willow Brook Christian Village, on March 8, 2019. As members arrived they colored cheerful floral placemats that would be placed on breakfast trays of Willow Brook residents.
After a delicious lunch, Mary Beth Freeman gave an audio and video presentation on the new Delaware Area Career Center. She described several aspects of the program including preparing Delaware County students for lifelong learning and satellite programs in high schools and business and industry. The Grand Opening and Open House of the DACC Main Campus will be held on August 15, 2019. All are welcome.
Donations for March were given to Habitat for Humanity.

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:
The Delaware County Retired Teachers Association donated a book to the child of the most recent Habitat for Humanity of Delaware & Union Counties homeowners. DCRTA Co-President Carolyn Kneisly presented the book at the home dedication in Delaware, OH on December 8, 2018.
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. DCRTA is proud to join other chapters across Ohio in this collaborative effort to help those in need.
