From the Branches
Linda Manwarren | President, CRTA
Checking in with CRTA
The easy days of summer are coming to an end
and thoughts turn to resuming many activities just
as we did when school bells brought us all back to
task. But how happy we are to make our own tasks
on our own terms now!
In the Calgary Retired Teachers’ Association,
our fi rst big event of the fall is the Annual General
Meeting and luncheon. Sandi, our membership
director, has worked hard reviewing and refi ning
our membership database and tells us that we are
more than 750 strong!
If you are newly retired and/or interested in
reconnecting with former colleagues or making
new connections through a wide range of
activities, we welcome you to explore our website
or to contact me directly. The summer edition
of news&views contained a valuable article by
Daniel Mulloy on the topic of loneliness and how
it has spread, especially in the senior population.
Joining CRTA can provide a rich antidote.
Recent activities saw members and friends
enjoying a performance at Rosebud Theatre,
attending the spring luncheon and craft sale, and
basking in nature at William Watson Lodge. In
addition to the fall luncheon on September 26th,
upcoming opportunities include another body
composition clinic, singing with the Grey Jays, and
attending a performance at Lunchbox Theatre. ●
