Morning at the Museums - Thursday, April 18, 2019 - 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
One of the best parts of my retirement is the almost endless free time I spend with my grandchildren! Fortunately, they only live an hour from Rockford; I travel to Crystal Lake once a week. While my daughter runs errands, I get to play with the youngest and visit with the other three when they return home from school. However busy their lives may be, and whatever activities the suburbs may offer, my grandchildren still love spending time in Rockford every summer. While they are attending ”Nonna Camp,” two venues are a must: the Discovery Centerand Burpee Museum!
Are you a regular visitor to these two “gems of Rockford”? When was the last time that you toured these facilities to view new exhibits, revisit the permanent programs or explore classes and educational opportunities for yourself or your grandchildren? Heck, you might even discover that you want to volunteer!
WCRTA is hosting a morning event in which you can rediscover your inner child by touring and exploring what’s new at these two museums. On Thursday, April 18, 2019, we’ll gather at the Discovery Center, 711 N. Main Street, Rockford, at 9:30 a.m. for registration. At 10:00, Executive Director Sarah Wolf will lead us on an hour-long tour of the temporary and permanent exhibits, highlighting areas where they need and welcome volunteers!
At 11:00, we’ll move next door to the Burpee Museum of Natural History, 737 N. Main, where Executive Director Anne Weerda will guide us through all the most recent exhibits as well as those that are permanent. I never get tired of visiting Jane, the world’s most complete and best-preserved juvenile Trex.
Cost for the entire morning is $20: $5 admission to EACHmuseumand $10.00 for the box lunch from Pinnon’s Meats and Catering. The box lunch includes a sub sandwich with ham, turkey, American cheese, Swiss cheese and lettuce; Mrs. Fisher’s potato chips; a cookie and bottled water. Vegetarian sandwiches will be available upon request.
Please mail your completed registration form along with a check to WCRTA to Gayle Haab, 3767 Doreen Drive, Roscoe IL 61073; (815-742-1331); ghaab74@gmail.com
Deadline for the reservation is April 11, 2019.
Come take a tour with us and plan your next outing with the kiddos. You may even want to become a volunteer!

Message from Norm Alpers, Co-President of WCRTA, n_alpers@yahoo.com
Just a very brief note to inform you of some matters concerning WCRTA.
First, as you might remember I have been writing about going to an electronic delivery of our newsletter. We have been talking about this for over a year. Our hope and goal is to get to the point that we can email the newsletter to most of our members. This would save a lot of postage and would save a lot of hours spent on assembly and mailing of a smaller number of newsletters. We are forming a committee, headed by Dr. John Carleton, to proceed to that goal. Several questions need to be answered before we can really proceed too far. Chief among the questions is who is going to be in charge of the electronic mailings. Also, very important is what program/platform are we going to use. In addition, we will need to ensure that we have correct email addresses for our members as well as email addresses for those members who we do not now have email addresses. Of course, there are other questions, concerns and problems that we will find on the way to our goal.
Secondly, we think we have some very interesting and informative programs for your enjoyment this year. Please check the newsletters for the details of those programs. As usual, George Whinna will be heading up a bus trip or two that you will find are fantastic. There are a few spots left on the April bus trip as I am writing this. Anyway, please think about attending a program or two and going on one of the bus trips.
We will be making every attempt to keep you informed on what is happening in Springfield this year. Our new governor has announced some interesting changes that he would like to make. The General Assembly is looking at some ways to overcome our budget shortfalls and to solve the pension liability. Be sure and keep yourself informed as well.
We hope you’ve been watching Quiz Bowl again this season and seeing how well the students are doing. WCRTA is proud to serve as one of its sponsors. --Norm Alpers, Co-President, 815-988-0523

IMPORTANT DATES AND ACTIVITIES TO REMEMBER!!! MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!
APRIL 1---IRTAFoundation 2019……Special Session with Nathan Mihelich, Director IRTA Membership and Marketing on e-mail blasts, e-mailing newsletter and streamlining newsletter at 1 pm at Hononegah High School.
Early April--Ballots from Teachers Retirement System for Director Election should arrive in your mailbox. Doug Strand is the IRTA endorsed candidate. Your vote for Doug Strand will help preserve your pension. Doug has sent the following letter:
Hello, my name is Douglas Strand. I recently finished 40 years of service as an educator at United Township High School, East Moline, Illinois. I grew up on the south side of Chicago and graduated from D. D. Eisenhower High School, Blue Island, Illinois.
I finished a Bachelor of Arts degree from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. Later I went back to school to get my teaching degree from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After teaching a few years, I finished a Master of Science degree in Educational Administration and Supervision from Western Illinois University in Macomb.
In the summers over the years, I have enjoyed playing softball, golf, bike riding, reading, fishing and going “Up North” to Hayward, Wisconsin, where I have had a place since 1995. This past year I have visited Portugal in Europe and Santa Fe, New Mexico, besides going up to Hayward several times.
At various times in the last 40 years, I have served on boards of a teachers’ established credit union (Service Plus Credit Union), East Moline Youth Baseball, Black Hawk College of Trustees (twice), East Moline City Council, East Moline Police Pension Board and on the local unit of the IRTA. There have been other groups and committees that I have worked with over the years as well.
I look forward to representing the IRTA on the TRS Board and visiting the local units to encourage membership in this organization (IRTA) that protects retired educators’ pension and benefits.
April 15, 2019--Blanche Martin Foundation Scholarship Applications are due at the Regional Office of Education. Applications are found on the WCRTA website…www.winnebagocountyrta.org. Applicants must be pursuing careers in elementary education and be a resident or have gone to school in Winnebago County.
April 24, 2019--to tour the new Cherry Valley Elementary School. The first new school in District 205 in almost 50 years. The Principal wants you to view this great school in action. We will meet at the school at 9 am on April 24. Please let me know if you will come and share this experience. djfk7@aol.com
June 1, 2019--IRTA Foundation Grant Applications for Pre-K – 12 teachers in Illinois Public Schools are due June 1, 2019. Grants are up to $750 and are not to be for consumables. Encourage your active teacher friends to apply with ideas for special projects. Winnebago County had four winners last year. Applications are made online at irtaonline.org under IRTA Foundation grants. If you have any questions, contact me at djfk7@aol.com. Let’s have more winners this year!!!

Legislative Update
This is going to be a short update as the two topics I want to call to your attention are somewhat complicated so to really cover them here would take way too much space! Therefore, I’m going to refer you to a couple of very relevant articles that discuss the future of our pensions and benefits and hope that you will check them out.
The first two articles refer to Governor Pritzker’s approach to pensions and can be found on the IRTA state website (irtaonline.org). You’ll need to login via “Members Only” and go to the “Legislative Updates” and chose the updates for 2-20 and 2-21-2019. Both articles refer to Gov. Pritzker’s budget address and his intent to use another “Pension Holiday” to defer over $576 million in funding to TRS (said another way, “kicking the can down the road”) again. It is interesting to note this holiday is for downstate pension funds but not the Chicago Public Schools Fund. Thankfully, he hasproposed fully funding the Teacher’s Health Insurance Fund.
The second article can be found in the Rockford Register Starfrom Sunday, March 17, page D11, entitled Illinois’ Tier 2 Pensions Anger Public Employees. It’s an insightful analysis of how the 2010 Tier 2 reform will have consequences of which most of us were probably not aware. There’s a lot here, but the one thing that surprised me the most is how Tier 2 teachers may eventually have to use Social Security under the “safe harbor” provision, for which, of course, they are not eligible. For that, local school districts will have to bear the responsibility which could be a huge burden on them! Most of us aren’t Tier 2, but there are potential consequences for all of us. You may have to read this one a couple of times. I know I did!
You can read each of these articles on the WCRTA website under pension/legislative.
