MASK DONATION NEWS
The Delaware County Retired Teachers Association has donated a case of 500 disposable child masks to each of the 29 elementary schools in Delaware County. The DCRTA members want to let students, teachers and staff know that the retired teachers are thinking of them as they navigate these uncertain educational times. The cases of masks were delivered to all Delaware County elementary schools during the second week of January.
RECENT MEETING REVIEW
On December 3rd the Delaware County Teachers Association gathered at Canvas Creations in Delaware, Ohio. Members had time to socialize before President Carolyn Kneisly opened the meeting. Members enjoyed their individualized box lunches from The Greater Gouda. Carolyn led the business portion of the meeting in which new officers were elected for the following two years. There was also discussion of other issues impacting the group and a unanimous vote to donate a case of 500 masks to each of the 29 elementary schools in Delaware County. Christmas themed stories were read by Karen Deighton and Sue Elfner. The theme of the day was The Christmas Tree. Pam Young shared Christmas tree books and facts with the group and led a Bingo game in which winners won various prizes. Members contributed both monetary and paper products for delivery to the group's December charity, People In Need of Delaware County. The next meeting will be on March 11, 2022 at
Canvas Creations For You 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.
