DEAR PARA MEMBERS,
   
The Port Authority launched its ninth annual Remembrance Through Renewal (RTR) Program yesterday.  It was inspired by the National Day of Service and Remembrance that began a year after the September 11 attacks.

This is the first year that the Port Authority is inviting PARA members to volunteer for this day of service, alongside PA and PATH employees, as a tribute to the memory of the victims of September 11. 

Twenty different service organizations in New York and New Jersey have been vetted by the PA for the RTR program, with various days open for volunteering from September 2 through 28.

If you see an organization that is of interest to you and you want to sign up, do it as soon as possible. Many of them close out when they reach the maximum number of volunteeers they can accept for that day. Most of the projects stop signing up volunteers a week before (see paragraph above: project days are from September 2 - 28), so please do not wait.  Look over the list, click on the organizations that appeal to you, and after that, you can contact Vince Losado at the PA vlosada@panynj.gov if you have more questions.  

We hope you will be able to join in this truly powerful day of charitable service and remembrance.

Thank you for your continuing support of PARA.

 
Sincerely, 
 
YOUR PARA BOARD

WHAT IS PARA?

The Port Authority Retirees Association (PARA), a not-for-profit corporation, was formed in 1989 to promote the welfare of retirees of the Port Authority (and PATH). That is accomplished by PARA's acting as spokesperson for Port Authority retirees. We foster and encourage legislation that maintains or improves our circumstances primarily as it affects the pensions of the New York State Retirement System. Our more than 4,200 members are strengthened by PARA's affiliation with the Alliance of Public Retiree Organizations (APRO) representing more than 350,000 members.
