CORE meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 17, 2008

CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators) will hold its January meeting at 11:45 a.m. on Thursday, January 17th, 2008 at the STRS Building, 275 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43215. Free parking is available in the STRS parking garage behind the building. You are also encouraged to attend the STRS Board meeting, which usually begins around 9:00 a.m. on Thursday in the board room on the 6th floor.

CORE meeting attendees generally leave the Board meeting around 11:30 a.m. to get lunch in the second floor cafeteria. We carry our lunch trays into the small cafeteria room adjacent to the main cafeteria area (behind the Sublett Room), where the CORE meeting begins promptly at 11:45 a.m.

Correction (1/9/08) to the segment following this one; Tim Myers will address the CORE meeting in February, not January. [A candidate for the contributing member seat on the STRS Board (John Lazares' current seat) will speak on why he wants to run for this position. Tim Myers, an OEA candidate, is seeking CORE's support and endorsement.] A CORE business meeting will be held and will adjourn in time for the afternoon session of the STRS Board meeting, the Executive Director's report, and Public Speaks.

Members are encouraged to bring interested friends and to address the STRS Board during the Public Speaks portion of the Board meeting. CORE meetings are open to all interested persons. STRS Board meetings are open to the public.
