Hello WCRTA Members!
It has been a long time since we have been in touch due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy during these unprecedented times. I am sure most of your appointments and events were cancelled these past few months, so were many of the meetings, celebrations, and presentations WCRTA had planned.
Although the WCRTA Board was unable to meet in person during the past couple of months, we continued to plan and communicate through email, phone, and Zoom meetings. The last general membership meeting was held on February 13 at the Thunder Bay Grill with 37 people in attendance. The guest speaker was Renee Wolter, Tour Director for Van Galder Tour and Travel.
The “Class of 2020” has a total of 78 new retirees from the 11 school districts in Winnebago County. The “Retirement Celebration” we were going to host April 16 at the Mauh-Nah-Tee-See Country Club was cancelled as well as the bus trip to the Fireside scheduled May 14 to see the “Church Basement Ladies.” We are hoping to have a nice trip in the fall to the Dubuque and Galena area. More information will come about the trip at a later date.
Unfortunately, our Scholarship Presentation and luncheon scheduled for June 11 at the Wesley Willows Towne Hall is also cancelled since the facility is still closed until further notice. The scholarship committee was still able to receive copies of their applications and determined the winners for both the Blanche J. Martin Scholarship and the Fred Kunz Scholarship. Please see the winners on our home page.
