Coming Soon: Lobbying Day, Film Showing

ISTA-R Lobbying Day

Next Tuesday, February 27 is the official ISTA-Retired lobbying day. I plan to attend and have room for three more. It would be nice to have several from the Allen County Chapter to attend. Please call or email me if you are willing and have the time to spend a day to support public education and the retired. There is a bill in the chambers which would give us access to a permanent COLA. no more stipends! We need to make certain that it passes. Contact Jim Clauser. You will need to register on the ISTA web site if you plan to go.
