Happy Fall!

September DEAR friends attendees

September was a fun gathering of friends once again at Dooney's Pub.
Photos can be found on our website: https://seeingoldfriends.shutterfly.com/

I hope everyone had a very enjoyable summer and we look forward to seeing you at our next lunch, set for Thursday, October 12th.

Another fine lunch

It was great to see everyone who could make it to today's lunch. (We were happy to welcome Ginny Morales, not yet retired but looking forward to it!).

Ginny, Judy, Ron, Bruce, Rosemary, Rosina, Jean, Jeanne, Barbara

The next one is scheduled for a Tuesday - September 12.

There is also talk of a special holiday gathering at Georgine's in Bristol, PA (just over the bridge), on November 29, so if you are interested, circle it on your calendar!

Here's the link to our August lunch shutterfly photos

Mailchimp....a new way to contact members

The last lunch invitation/RSVP request was done via a mail server called Mailchimp.

What do you think of it?

You can comment below and let me know! Thanks! (If you comment using "anonymous", tell me who you are in the comment, ok? :-)

Summertime and the living is easy....

Our July lunch group had fun and Peg Sacca was one of our attendees!

Marion and Peg

Hope everyone is having a fun summer!

Barbara Johnson told us about this event, if you are interested....

Hope to see you in August, if not sooner! (August 16th is the next lunch date; Dooney's Pub, 12;30

Happy Fourth of July!

Good news! NJ is open again and we have an approved State budget that includes additional money for districts (like Delran!) that have been underfunded for years.

Meanwhile, thanks to Marge and Warren Gessmann who are celebrating the Fourth by sitting in a big auditorium all day representing us along with thousands of other NEA delegates in Boston, helping to forge policies for the upcoming year.

Ooh! Africa!!!

Marcia shared the photos of her adventures in Africa at the June DEAR lunch. Wow!

Also, guess what happens when you have just the right number of people for a booth? Everyone gets to hear the shared conversation! :-)

Still, we missed the others, so hopefully you can mark July 19th on your calendar. Summer is not a good time to catch people in town, but if you can make it, yay!

More retirees

They decided not to have a separate retirees table, so those of us in attendance at the DEA Retirement Luncheon today were scattered.I'm thinking we need a June lunch after all. How does next Wednesday look for all y'all? That would be June 21st. 12:30 Dooney's Pub.

Meanwhile, here's a link I have to the shutterfly share site housing the photos from today's luncheon:

Hope to see you soon. (June 21st is the first day of summer, actually!)
