From CORE

CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators) will hold its May meeting on Thursday, May 15th at the STRS Building at 275 East Broad Street in Columbus. Parking is free in the STRS parking garage behind the building. We encourage you to also attend the STRS meeting which usually begins around 9:00 a.m. on Thursday in the meeting room on the 6th floor. CORE meeting attendees usually leave the STRS meeting around 11:30 in order to go to the cafeteria on the 2nd floor to get our lunches. We then take our lunches to the small cafeteria room behind the Sublett Room on the 2nd floor of the STRS building where the CORE meeting will begin promptly at 11:45.

In response to suggestions from our supporters, CORE is calling for input for agenda items for this May 15th meeting. Please send any agenda items you would like discussed to the sender of this email, John Curry (curryjo@watchtv.net). John has kindly agreed to send your suggestions to the CORE President, Dave Parshall. In order to have an agenda in place and printed for the meeting, please send your item no later than Tuesday, May 13th. Agenda items which are sent after May 13th will be held over to the June CORE meeting.

Dan Vincent is the CORE endorsed candidate for the active educator seat on the STRS Board replacing John Lazares. We will be discussing the election results which are due to be announced by May 10th prior to our CORE meeting.

At the April CORE meeting, we had ten people who volunteered to be trustees of CORE for the next two year term commencing in Sept. of 2008 at our Annual Membership Meeting. It is important that we have good attendance at our May 15th meeting as we will be making decisions regarding officers, the future of CORE, and the rebuilding campaign for CORE’s treasury. PLAN TO ATTEND AND BRING YOUR QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS FOR CORE. We need to set clear objectives for the future so we need your voice. Our supply of yellow CORE pamphlets is almost diminished so we will be asking for suggestions for making the pamphlet even better. IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND FOR THE DAY, AT LEAST PLAN TO ATTEND THE CORE MEETING FOR LUNCH AT 11:45.
