NEXT LCRTA LUNCHEON
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 23, 2026 at Stone Oak Country Club Please check back in late-August for details FROM OUR PRESIDENT--Susan Santoro
Even though we are not following a regular school calendar anymore, don’t you still find yourself saying, “Where did the Summer go?” We have a great schedule of luncheons planned and scholarships to be awarded very soon. I hope that your calendars are marked and that you will invite friends who may be members but not regularly attending and/or invite retired teacher friends and/or those who support public education. I have been blessed to spend a week in Lakeside, Ohio for almost the past ten summers. I stay with childhood friends. (Note that Kathy Benya did a Slate article on Lakeside and nearby spots during the pandemic in May 2021—you can find all past issues on our website.) This year in Sunday worship, the Reverend Dr. Angela Williams Gorrell’s message, “Pursuing a Worthier Vision” really resonated with me. Because of that, I attended many of her sessions, referred to as “Faith for Living Hour” during the week and purchased two of her books. On one of these mornings, she spoke about “Seasons of Our Lives.” Some examples she cited were Planting or Harvesting; Weeping or Laughing; Hiddenness or Discovery; Holding On or Letting Go; Battling For What Is Right or Reconciling. She encouraged us to look and listen for “signals”—Emotionally, Relationally, Physically and Spiritually. She then gave us quiet time to reflect. I concluded my current “Season of Life” is Discovery. Yes, even though I am retired and in my late sixties, I truly feel that I have much more to discover about myself, my actions, beliefs, health, etc. How about You? (Reverend Dr. Angela Williams Gorrell is an author and public theologian from Santa Fe, New Mexico. In March 2016, Gorrell was hired to study Joy at Yale University. Just eight months into the Theology of Joy Project, three of her family members died within four weeks. She has taught at several schools, including Yale, Baylor and McCormick and Fuller Seminary.) I hope to see many of you on Wednesday, September 23rd at Stone Oak Country Club. Let’s fill the seats—invite friends and bring loads of new books!
