Volunteers Needed!

You can help!

(Please do!)

 If you are a retired teacher getting your pension from STRS (but are not on disability) or a friend or relative of one, your help is needed now to help Rudy Fichtenbaum get re-elected to the STRS board (see his statement in the post above this one) since his four year term will be expiring in less than a year. Petitions for getting Rudy's name on the ballot for the spring election are being circulated now, but time is shorter than you might think, and your help is very much needed with this endeavor. Be sure you read his statement above this post and you will see many reasons why we need to keep him on the STRS board.

You can download Rudy's petition anytime from ORTA's website, from their blog article Rudy Fichtenbaum running for re-election to STRS Ohio Board, and you may print as many as you need. Anyone can do this, and anyone may circulate the petitions. Signed petitions (but photocopies are not allowed) may be snail-mailed to Rudy (his address is on the petition) or to STRS. The deadline for all petitions to reach STRS is February 28. If they are mailed to Rudy, they need to reach him at least a week before. It would be great to get signatures from all over Ohio.

You can download the petitions here: https://www.orta.org/post/rudy-fichtenbaum-runs-for-re-election-to-strs-ohio-board

Your help is needed, even if you can get only one or two signatures on a petition. Rudy needs at least 500 valid signatures, of which there needs to be 20 signatures from each of 10 different Ohio counties. Feel free to share this article with anyone who may be able to help. (Click on the little envelope icon at the bottom to do this.) If you are unable to circulate petitions, please download, print, sign and mail one to either Rudy Fichtenbaum or STRS (275 East Broad St., Columbus, OH 43215). All teachers, retired or active, can only benefit from getting Rudy re-elected to the STRS Ohio board. Thank you for any help you can give.
