December CORE meeting changed to Friday, Dec. 12

From CORE, December 2, 2008

CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators) will hold its December meeting on Friday, the 12th, at the STRS Building at 275 East Broad Street in Columbus. Parking is free in the STRS parking garage behind the building. CORE usually meets on Thursday but the December meeting will be held on Friday this month due to the fact that STRS is planning to hold a special Health Care meeting on Friday, the 12th, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the 5th floor. The usual STRS meeting (which includes a report from the Investment Department and other STRS business) which usually begins around 9:00 a.m. on Thursday in the meeting room on the 6th floor is also being held this month but the beginning time this month will be 10:00.

Due to the fact that this special Health Care meeting is described as a "planning meeting to develop a strategy for Health Care for STRS members for the next five years", CORE feels that it is vital for members to attend this meeting on Friday. The room in which this meeting will be held on the 5th floor is the room which some compare to the United Nations meeting room. It cannot be missed as it is circular and has microphones for each participant. If you do have trouble finding the room, just ask a staff member to guide you. (Get off the elevator and make a couple left turns.)

If there is a lunch break at this meeting, then CORE members will meet as usual in the small room off of the cafeteria on the second floor to get lunch and discuss the meeting requested by the STRS Executive Director, Mike Nehf, with the CORE Board of Trustees and CORE officers which occurred on Thursday, December 4th. If no formal lunch break occurs, then CORE will meet briefly at 3:00 at the conclusion of the Health Care meeting.
