CORE meeting scheduled for February 17, 2011

From CORE, February 8, 2011

CORE (Concerned Ohio Retired Educators) will hold its February meeting on Thursday, February 17th at the STRS building at 275 East Broad Street in Columbus. Parking is free in the STRS parking garage located behind the building. We encourage you to also attend the STRS Retirement Board meeting on the same day which usually begins around 9:00 a.m. in the Board Room on the 6th floor, though this time can vary from month to month. Lately the STRS meetings have been held most of the day on the following Friday as well as Thursday. For this reason, we suggest you check the STRS website (www.strsoh.org) to confirm the time.

Please remember that CORE meeting attendees usually leave the STRS meeting around 11:30 a.m. 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 where the CORE meeting begins promptly at 11:45.

This February meeting will be an "extended" meeting to work on talking points for possible actions which the new legislature may have in mind for us. We will ask for volunteers to return to the STRS Board meeting room around 1:00 while the rest of us will remain to brainstorm ideas. If you have additional suggestions for the February CORE meeting agenda, please send them to CORE Vice President John Curry at curryjo@watchtv,net.

The membership form may be found on the CORE website: www.concernedohio.org.
