Every Spring and Fall the Hartford Faculty Association retirees have a luncheon. At the Spring luncheon a collection is taken and given to the HFA to be presented as an award, at graduation, to a student who has persevered in achieving his or her goal to graduate.
This is one way to continue a positive connection between the retirees and the active teachers as well as the district and its students. All the retirees seem to enjoy contributing to this award.
Maizie Morse, Ambassador, in the Aug.-Sept.'06 RC10 Newsletter
Last year, the Cohoes Retired Teachers and Staff group used its surplus dues money to award a $200 scholarship to a graduating senior who had decided to go into the field of education. The intention is to make this a yearly award and to increase the amount each year, if possible. In years past, $5 dues had been collected from the retired teaching staff only. For next year and in the future, the retired support staff agreed that they would also like to contribute. In this way, the group hopes to continue the award for years to come.

and Staff, 8-24-06
