A clarification from Mary Ellen

From Mary Ellen Angeletti, January 4, 2007

Subject: CORE ALERT #2

There have been some questions concerning the upcoming CORE meeting for Thursday, January 18th.

Gary Allen, President of OEA, contacted CORE with a request to speak to the CORE membership. No one at CORE contacted Mr. Allen. He shared that he has been reading the CORE blog (Kathie Bracy's blog) and felt that OEA and CORE have more common goals than differences. He will be speaking to the CORE membership at noon in the small cafeteria room behind the Sublett Room on the second floor of the STRS building at 275 East Broad Street.

We hope that this meeting is well attended and that the membership come with many questions prepared to be asked of the speaker. We also have encouraged membership to attend the regular STRS meeting which begins at 9 a.m. on the same day (Thursday, January 18th) but in the meeting room on the 6th floor. CORE folks can leave the STRS meeting around 11:30 to get their lunches in the cafeteria and be ready for the CORE meeting to begin at 11:45.

There is a probability that due to Mr. Allen's visit, we may have to conclude our CORE meeting later in the afternoon. I hope this email clarifies any misunderstandings.

Mary Ellen Angeletti, CORE
