Good Morning,
House Keeping Items: I will be out May 25-29. There will be no Monday message next week. Lindsay Evans will be covering the REA office for the days I am out. You may reach her via the office phone, 610-374-7101, or email evansl@readingsd.org. I will have very limited access to the president@readingea.com email so please understand if you email me at that address there will be a longer response time.
Retirement Dinner: If you would like to attend the retirement dinner the RSVP is DUE TOMORROW 5/18! You may email your RSVP to Jen Bard. Please have your check post marked NO LATER THAN 5/21. Jen’s address is: 250 Endlich Ave Reading Pa 19606. The retirement invite is attached to this email. 2021 Invite to the members (1)
Constitution and By-Laws Committee: At our General Membership meeting I discussed forming a Constitution and By-Laws committee to do an update to our C&BL. We would meet roughly 3 times over the summer to look at updating items such as, scholarship language and amounts, frequency of General membership meetings, addition of an officer that would represent our non-teaching staff, and online elections for executive board and delegates. These updates would be presented to the membership in the fall to be voted on by rep council. If you think this is something you may be interested in participating in, please send me an email to president@readingea.com.

Be Well,
