AUBURN — The Androscoggin Retired Educators’ Association is scheduled to meet at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Sixth Street Congregational Church, 109 Sixth St.

Susan Feiner, a retired college professor who has been working to protect university teachers pensions, will be the guest speaker. She is the communications officer on the Maine board of retired teachers, according to a news release from Elizabeth Bell, association publicity.

The luncheon, to be prepared by church members, will cost $12, and will be chef’s choice. This includes coffee or tea and dessert.

Members are invited to participate in a Christmas, or holiday, ornament exchange. Those who wish can bring an ornament from their own collection, or a new one to exchange.

Because of an unfortunate accident at the October meeting, members are urged to use the handicap ramp to enter and leave the building.

The association meets five times per year: September, October, November, March and April. Dues cost $10 per year for members, and $6 for non-teacher spouses or partners. Honorary members who are 85 or older no longer need to pay dues.

All educators are welcome. This includes teachers, teacher assistants, guidance counselors, custodians, secretaries, administrators — anyone who has worked in education in public school or private school. Educators need not have worked in Androscoggin County or even in Maine.

Send reservations and a check for dues and lunch to David Wing, 42 Hatch Hill Road, Greene, ME 04236.
