Yes, it's that time again.  Back to School
for kids means time for Moore County's
Retired Educators to gather once again.
Ken and Chipper are there to provide
music as members gather and converse.

President Sandi Keyser has worked long
hours this summer to prepare for another
full agenda.  She has a wonderful program
planned for us and much information to share.

Sandi goes over some FYI matters as members
sign in and settle in for our meeting.

Our guest speaker was Detective Don
Shingleton of the Moore County Sheriff's
Department.  His topic was "Protecting
Yourself from Property Theft and
Identity Theft."

Detective Shingleton's presentation was most
interesting and revealing.

He reviewed home security concerns and
gave many practical tips that made us all feel
 a little better prepared by the end of his talk.

During our business session Sandi had a
lengthy agenda.  Here are a few highlights:
  • Moore County's NCAE President, Debbie Kelly reminds us to "Wear Red for Ed"
  • Moral Monday would meet at the Southern Pines Park on September 9 to hear Rev. William Barber and other speakers detail the challenges presented by recent legislative actions.
  • Sandi reviewed local unit goals and went over legislative and health plan changes that affect us as retirees.
  • We were awarded  money for our Goldstar notebook for the past year.  (Many thanks to Sandi and all who labored to help her assemble this)




 As is customary, the meeting ended with 
drawings for our scholarship raffle and 
Sandi's always-fun door prizes.


And we're just as excited as
 kids when our number is drawn!

Our next meeting will also be at
the Moore County Schools Board
Room on November 12, 2013 at
10:00 a.m.  Dr. Aaron Spence will
speak to us about the system's plans
for the year and School Bond issues.
Please invite a retired educator to attend
and join our "merry band."
