We were honored to have Letitia James, New York State Attorney General, as our guest speaker.

Mark your calendars for our next Membership Meeting scheduled for Thursday, August 29 at 10:00 AM. We will once again have both a Zoom and dial-in option, as well as a Spanish simulcast line. Since we are holding these meetings as hybrid tele-town halls, we will continue to dial out to every member we have a phone number for at the start of each meeting to ensure we reach as many members as possible. All you need to do is pick up the phone! 

We are immensely proud of what we are achieving together, and we look forward to continuing the work of the DC 37 Retirees Association together. 

See you next month, 

DC 37 Retiree Association Team
