Much has
been happening to the TelCo Retirees Association, Inc. during
the past weeks and you need to be “updated” on a number
of issues.
Website:
telcoretirees.org or telcoretirees.com Now
that our Website is “up and running” and we have placed
many items of importance to our membership on the site. (We suggest
that members with Internet access frequently visit our Website
in order to keep yourselves updated.)
We are
currently undergoing a few changes with our Website.
A new
heading "Members Only" is being augmented and access
will require the use of a password. A copy of a CPUC document
and a Association letter to a California State Senator regarding
our California State non-profit status will be of interest to
all of you.
Here,
for your information, are some of the current items appearing
at our Website.

Quarterly

The Association
will hold Quarterly meetings throughout California and Nevada.
(Specific details will be made available well in advance of these

Annual Membership Meeting
Our Bylaws
require an Annual Membership Meeting open to all members. These
meetings are scheduled to review and approve all fiscal arrangement,
to make changes in our Bylaws, to review all major programs and
to elect Officers and members of the Board of Directors.
These annual meetings will be held in San Diego, California, during
the month of February. All members are encouraged to attend.

General
Membership Meetings
Because we have
received member requests for a future meeting in the greater Los
Angeles area as well as correspondence from Nevada retirees requesting
a future meeting in Reno, NV, we will consider these sites for
future quarterly meetings.
Since we are required
by law to hold an Annual Membership Meeting and since the majority
of our Officers and Directors either live within the greater San
Diego area or in southern California, we plan to schedule our
Annual Membership Meeting in San Diego, California during the
month of February. All members are invited to attend the Annual
meeting as well as the scheduled Quarterly meetings.
Telephone
Concession Service
This issue
continues to receive considerable attention. We will include correspondence
received from our members in the filing. More on this issue will
be found on the "Concessions" heading on the Website.
We have
also added another heading to our Website, "NRLN" (National
Retiree Legislative Network) to keep members updated on national
issues impacting all retirees.
Newsletter
A printed
Newsletter highlighting many of the articles presently on our
Website has been printed and mailed to members without e-mail
access.
