Telco Retirees Association Newsletter

3rd Quarter 2017
Dear (Contact first name)

The end of August!  Time flys faster and faster!

This newsletter contains an article from one of our newest Board members, Jane Banfield as well as articles by our President, Chuck Gilbert, Lee Brown, and me. Jane explains just what the National Retirees Legistlative Network (NRLN) is all about and how it affects us all.  I'm sure you will find it quite informative.

My article will hopefully inspire you to send us your own "human interest" story.  We hope so; we would like to publish one every issue and have none "on the books". Don't forget, we are, as always, asking you to help bring in new members, too.

We hope that you find this newsletter informative and entertaining.
