Dear Members I am excited and enthusiastic about taking on the leadership role as President of CalRTA Division 75. We will be facing many challenges this year, and I have acquired an outstanding Board of Directors and dedicated Committee Chairs to support me. As I envision this 2020-2021 CalRTA fiscal year, we need to:
• BE SAFE: Follow the good health guidelines in your community.
• BE FLEXIBLE: Understand that meetings will be different than previously.
• BE BRAVE: Be open to new ideas and begin thinking “Outside the Box”.
• BE POSITIVE: Look for creative solutions to problems and move forward.
• BE CONNECTED: Talk to each other and increase membership.
HATS OFF TO YOU, DIVISION 75! I CAN’T WAIT TO HAVE “FACE-TO-FACE” LUNCHEONS & MEETINGS SO I CAN
Jim says, “Teaching is an art. It’s more than creating the perfect PowerPoint
or knowing the most about your subject. Great teachers are larger than life
personalities who build great relationships with their students and teach from
their lives.”
Scholarship Raffle Prize Winners For each $5.00 you donate, your name will be placed in the “jar”. The names
of 16 winners will be pre-drawn and announced at the Zoom General Meeting.
Trader Joe’s gift cards will be mailed to you. Please RSVP (See page 1)
Fall Harvest Costume Ideas Let’s Have Some Fun!
Some suggestions are: A plaid shirt, overalls, a farmer’s hat, a homemade vegetable necklace, a harvest colored T-Shirt, etc. $10 gift card prizes awarded for Most Creative, Funniest, and Most Elaborate. Gift cards will be mailed to the winners.
Gale Hooper She needs to hear from you if you know someone who needs a card – a cheery note – a caring remembrance – Call: 1 (916) 988-6880

Travel Corner
Sept. - Oct. 2020
• All Cruise travel and European travel have been suspended. Day trips will be postponed. Travelers have received refunds for cancelled trips for this year.
• My tips for travel if you love it like I do: Reread your travel journals. I have reread several of mine from 1967, 1971, 1996, 1997, and 2003 so far. This brought back many pleasant memories.
• Revisit and sort through your travel photos.
• Dream about traveling in the future! Marti Gohring 1 (916) 709 1346 / [email protected]
