Officers and board members of the Kingfisher County Retired Educators Association (KCREA) met recently in the home of Donna Jech to work on plans for the coming year.   

All retired educators and school support personnel residing in Kingfisher County or retired from Kingfisher County schools are welcome and encouraged to join the association.  

Officers for the 2019-2020 year include Terri Peck, Nancy Teders, Debby Jorgensen and Donna Jech.  

Other board members are Chuck Henderson, Cathy  Howard and Florene Tipton.   

“The purpose of the association is to promote the interests and welfare of retired educators, to maintain retired educators’ identity with the education profession, to enhance the image of retired educators and to participate in educational and community activities,” said Cathy Howard, one of its members.  

The group awards a scholarship annually to a county college student majoring in education and preparing to student-teach.  

This year’s recipient was Kol Bomhoff of Okarche.   

The next meeting will be 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4, at Kingfisher Memorial Library.  

Tricia Naifeh Parker with Health Choice insurance will be the featured speaker.
