RECENT MEETING REVIEW
The spring meeting was held at noon in the Terrace Room, Willow Brook Christian Village, on March 8, 2018. After a delicious lunch, Ryan Lipe, a speaker from the Consumer Protection division of the Ohio Attorney General's office, presented an overview of the Attorney General's office as well as detailed information on senior scams. He addressed the extensive variety of common scams, why seniors are targeted and offered tips on how to avoid becoming a victim. If you need advice and/or want to report a scam you can find help at their specialized fraud website OhioProtects.org. A brief business meeting followed. President Carolyn Kneisly reported that our next presentation of books to a new Habitat for Humanity family will take place tomorrow. She introduced our Welcoming/Hospitality Chairperson, Pamela Young, who hosted a St. Patrick's Day themed hospitality table with cookies, a candy guessing game and a door prize. In addition, monetary donations were collected for March of Dimes and non perishable items were collected for People In Need.

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 presented a donation of several books to the children of Habitat home recipients Rafael and Angelica, the most recent Habitat for Humanity of Delaware & Union Counties homeowners. DCRTA Co-President Carolyn Kneisly presented the books to their children at the home dedication in Delaware, OH on March 10, 2018. Pictured: DCRTA President Carolyn Kneisly with Rafael, Angelica and their 4 children.
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 two 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.
