Luncheon Registration Deadline
Please mark the March 12 as the deadline for luncheon registration on your calendar. If you have not received a telephone call by 6:00 p.m. that evening and would like to attend the luncheon, contact Pam Roy at 780-473-5598 immediately.
Some members have expressed a preference to register online for the luncheons instead of getting a phone call. That option is now available with this upcoming Spring luncheon.
Our members fall into two groups—those who get newsletters delivered by post and those who receive an electronic copy.
The first group will continue to get a friendly call from one of our volunteers asking if they would like to register for the luncheon.
The second group who chose, to take advantage of electronic registration, will receive an email with a link to the luncheon registration form. If they choose to attend after their submission, an email will be sent confirming their registration.
This year the ERTA Board of Directors selected Santa’s Anonymous as the charity to support at the Christmas luncheon.
Thank you to all who donated at our luncheon for Santa’s Anonymous. Your donations total $465.00. The Santa’s Anonymous staff were very appreciative of our contribution since a corporate group tripled any donations made that day.
You helped make it a successful event for ERTA and the children of the city.
Two highlights from the ERTA Board of Directors meeting, held at Barnett House on October 29, were as follows:
It was grand to see many of you attending ERTA events over this past year! |
