California Retired Teachers Association, Solano County Chapter

The week of Nov. 4-10 is California’s 14th annual Retired Teachers Week. Since 1998, the California Retired Teachers Association has sponsored Retired Teachers Week as a way to not only spotlight our members’ extensive volunteerism, but to encourage others to do the same.
Even during these rough economic times, California’s retired teachers are among our community’s most tireless volunteers. They cared about our students and our communities while they worked as educators, and that caring doesn’t stop at retirement. Statewide, CalRTA members logged more than 2.5 million hours of service to their communities, service that is worth more than $62 million.
