​Scam Alert Regarding Dues
 
This morning several of us received an email supposedly from Winnebago County Retired Teachers Association requesting that you pay your dues for $10. NO ONE from our Board sent this email. Besides, 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 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.
 
If you are an annual member and have not paid your 2025 dues, please mail a check payable to WCRTA to Sharon Vinson, 11966 Tresemer Road, Roscoe, IL 61073-7708 ASAP.
WCRTA Members, we will not have another newsletter until January 2025. All of the information was included in the August, 2024 newsletter.  We hope you can join us!   To access the newsletter, click on Unit Info above and cursor down to the newsletter or click above on Schedule of Events.

***Please renew your dues by December 31, 2024 for those of you who pay annual membership.  Your check in the amount of $15 should be made payable to WCRTA, and mailed to our treasurer Sharon Vinson at 11966 Tresemer Rd., Roscoe, IL 61073-7708.

Help needed!
I am reaching out to you to see if you and your association (WCRTA) would have an availability and willingness to help tutor students at Harlem Middle School. The tutoring areas would be Math and Reading. Other content areas could be offered based on your availability. 2-4 days would be optimal. If interested, we can discuss more details and planning later today or later this week. Feel free to call me on my cell at 815.656.0332. Thank you!  Jason Ware

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:
