About Division 85
The Tri-Valley Division of CalRTA
was formed in 1990 and we now have 400
members! Most of us live or worked in Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore areas.
About CalRTA
The California Retired Teachers Association has over 50,000
members.
With grassroots participation at each division level, as well as legislative advocacy in
Sacramento and Washington, D.C., we are the dominant
force in protecting and enhancing the benefits of retired educators.
For
more information about our advocacy for retired teachers and
public education, click on the
links to CalRTA and Area 4 at the top left corner.
Division 85 Activities
We
are committed to both future
and current teachers. Each year we
award scholarships to those studying to become teachers. This year
we granted six
$1500 scholarships to high school seniors and college students
pursuing teaching careers. Select the May-June Newsletter
link in the lower left for more about these future teachers.
After receiving 155 application the decisions were finally made for the 2010 Teachers' Stipend recipients. The following teachers will be receiving stipends to be spent in the fields of math, literature, science, PE, and art. It was difficult for the seven committee members to choose. This year's winners were: Janet Baccus, Lincoln Losen, Elise Allen, and Lucille Holloway from Livermore; Karen Conrad from Dublin; and Michelle O'Connor and the second grade team, Janet Dobbs, Tracy Zuehlsdorf, Beth Cutter, and JoAnne Gross, from Pleasanton.

Social Security Fairness
This
group is dedicated to informing the public about the WEP
and GPO
provisions of Social Security that adversely affect the incomes of
thousands of retired educators and public workers in 14 states
including California. Social Security Fairness, CalRTA, and other
public interest
associations have formed a hard working coalition to get Congress to
pass legislation that will eliminate these unfair
penalties. For more information and a
current update click on this link: www.ssfairness.com.
