“Collaboration has no hierarchy. The Sun collaborates with the soil to bring flowers on earth.” —Amit Ray Happy Spring LCRTA members! I was recently reflecting on how far we have grown as an organization since 2020. We kept our group together virtually by conducting Zoom meetings from September 2020 - May 2021. Our attendance at luncheons since Fall 2021 is not at pre-pandemic numbers, but I am still optimistic. The LCRTA board is such a hard-working TEAM. We now have a business card with a QR code. We have an updated Mission Statement. Our website has so much valuable information, including Slate issues back to 2019, an In Memoriam section, luncheon information back to 2006 and much more. We continue to grant scholarships to future educators. We recently sent postcards to hundreds of ORTA members inviting them to join LCRTA. Our partnerships with many area non-profits have impacted thousands. Our contribution was recently acknowledged by East Toledo Family Center. Please spread the news about ALL that LCRTA means to you with friends and former colleagues. I hope to see MANY of you on May 21st at Highland Meadows Golf Club. Invite a guest! Bring lots of new books! |
