Our Annual Meeting, May 9th

Joan Petroske, our president, welcomed everyone to an informative meeting.  Richard Haase, the current TA president updated us on the issues facing active teachers. Richard was knowledgable and entertaining.  Keith Bantz was there to greet Richard, a past student of his from Candlewood. Dick Lee spoke about our insurances, the
health care advocacy, and medicare.  Mel Stern, our political action
representative,   noted how important it is for us to vote on the 15th, the people
in our government who can effect legislature in our favor, and VOTE/Cope. 

The hospitality committee dazzled us with the "brunch" spread and the raffles. Annette Maltin took home the perennial pot and the manicure/pedicure gift.  Rick Volpe was the lucky winner of the ticket to the summer theatre.  Rowena Book has an invitation to our fall luncheon and took home the hanging planter.  Congratulations to all our winners.

Our expert photographer, Alice Langholtz, took pictures to archive the day.  You may see that album by clicking here.

HHHART Elections

As of March 15 we have deleted 15 non-dues-paying members from HHHART.  After about 5 attempts we have concluded that they are no longer interested in being associated with HHHART, NYSUT, and AFT and do not want or need the benefits of those associations.  We are thankful for the help of Cathy and Karen in the TA office in helping us in this effort.

We are now focusing on our upcoming General Meeting on May 9 and elections of officers.  Candidates have submitted their resumes to the Elections Committee composed of chairman, Dick Lee, and Alice Langholz and Norma Smith.

The candidates are:

                        President:                        Joan Petroske

                        Vice President:            Eileen Lohrey

                        Secretary:                        Malinda Dobrins

                        Treasurer:                        Ellen Keuling

The General Meeting will be held on May 9, 2012 at 9:30 AM in the Dix Hills Branch of the Half Hollow Hills Library.
