Transferring RTO Membership

Are you - or is someone you know - living in or near Perth, Smiths Falls,
Carleton Place, Almonte or Pakenham, but your/their RTO membership is with a
previous district?  We would be pleased to have anyone who fits that
category  transfer their RTO membership to this district.  We are comprised
of almost 420 members, with social events being attended by only 40 to 90,
which makes it easier to get to know other retired teachers in the area.

The person to contact at the RTO provincial office in Toronto to transfer
your/their membership is:

Dianne Vezeau
Administrative Assistant, Membership
