- For Community Service
Day in May we give large baskets filled with snacks for all public school teachers in Darke County.
On National Community Service Day, May 19, members of the
Darke county Retired Teachers brought snacks to their local meeting.
These
snacks were then placed in baskets, also provided by members to be
distributed to the teaching staff at each individual building. Each
retiring teacher also was presented with a special snack bag to honor them
for their years of service.
Approximately 700 snacks and 22 baskets were donated.
This
activity allows many members of the association to participate in an
activity which benefits the community. This is the fifth year for this
event; it is popular with the members
Susan Fields,
Maxine Didier, Naomi LeValley, Phyllis Davis, Marty Davis, Virginia
Nieport, and Merrie Ann Brown shown with some of the baskets that were
distributed to the schools
- A large number of our members do volunteer work in
the community; we keep a record of the hours they donate. We record
the hours they give us and send the information to ORTA.
- We sponsor a scholarship
for a senior at a local high school entering the field of education.
This year we are for the second time offering two scholarships for $400 each.

- We provide new greeting cards for the residents of
Rest Haven nursing home to mail to their family and friends
