Our meeting was held a few days after Thanksgiving. Mary opened our meeting and requested reports from our different officers: Joan read the minutes from our September meeting and were approved by the membership. Judy gave an accounting of our monies. Several interesting events were mentioned. Robin Rogers group is going to sing with the symphony at the Gaillard December 17. Other holiday festivities were mentioned.
Then, Mary introduced our speaker, Brian Hicks Brian is a reporter from the Post and Courier.(My grandad used to call the paper the "newsless courier.") He spoke on the how and where he got information for his new book. He also told of some of the events he chronicled in his writings.
We had a delightful lunch during which time Mr. Hicks signed his book for those who purchased one.
I keep wondering where a lot of our former members are. I also wonder how we can boost membership. If you all have any ideas please let me or Sandy know. All thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
This blog will have the story of the Charleston County Retired Educators' Association (CCREA) , a group that fosters and nurtures future classroom instructors while keeping abreast of community events and educational trends.
