STRS phone survey: Are you one of the lucky 600?

Here's what it says (below) on a mail-in sheet generated by STRS, apparently for their speakers to make available to retirees; this was provided at an RTA meeting by an STRS staff member/guest speaker, April 11, 2007. Few people got them, though, as they were stacked up on a table far from the exit we had to use in place of the main exit, since the fountain in the lobby had overflowed and they were busy mopping up the mess.
