Next CORE meeting February 19

From CORE, February 3, 2009

CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators) will hold its February meeting on Thursday, Feb. 19th 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 but this beginning time varies from month to month. For this reason, we encourage you to check the STRS website (www.strsoh.org) to confirm the time. 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.

If you have suggestions for the Feb. CORE meeting agenda, if you plan to be a candidate for the open STRS Board seats, or if you know someone who plans to be a candidate in the upcoming STRS election and would like to visit a CORE meeting, please contact John Curry. He will relay this information to CORE President, Dave Parshall, for consideration.

This February meeting will be an important one as those members in attendance will be deciding IF CORE will be endorsing a STRS Board candidate/s as well as determining the extent of support for candidates based on CORE's current resources. Please plan to attend and participate in this most important decision-making process. Invite a friend. Pick up a new supply of CORE's new pamphlet to share with others. Visitors are always welcome!
