The Paulding County RTA
was organized on October 31, 1968 in Paulding.
The first chapter meeting was a luncheon held on November 13, 1968.
The membership had 36 retired teachers and 3 associate
members.
The first officers were: President Wanda Jenkins, Vice President
Norma Simon,
Secretary Neola Gordon, and Treasurer Clara Gorrell.
The original members gathered from the individual school districts of
Antwerp, Blue Creek, Grover Hill, Oakwood, Paulding Exempted Village Schools, and Payne.
These districts are now combined
into the three districts of Antwerp Local Schools,
Paulding Exempted Village Schools, and Wayne Trace Local Schools.
The Paulding Co. RTA is a small, but ambitious organization
which exemplifies
the high standards of the teaching profession. Its
purpose is to educate its members
about current legislative proposals
and their impact on education today, as well
as events impacting all retired
Americans.
2009 Newly Elected Officers: Vice President: Marcia Pressler; Secretary: Ann
Furrow; Treasurer: Bill Fast. Congratulations!
