​Scam Alert Regarding Dues
 
 Several members have received an email supposedly from the Winnebago County Retired Teachers Association requesting that you pay your dues of $10. NO ONE from our Board sent this email. The annual dues have been $15 since 1/1/24. DO NOT click on the buttons in this email or pay WCRTA dues online. This is a scam, and it happened last year as well. We do not accept payments online, and we do not know how someone was able to get a copy of our membership list.

Dementia and Driving
Dementia and driving can be complicated. Obviously as the condition worsens, those with dementia will have to stop driving. We thought this was important information, so we made a guide that detailed the laws behind dementia and driving, what are signs of unsafe driving, how to talk to a person about quitting driving, and how a person with dementia can still maintain some independence. Check it out:
