Thurston County School Retirees’ Association (TCSRA), which is Unit 28 of the Washington State School Retirees’ Association (WSSRA), was organized on September 18, 1954, by five dedicated retired teachers. They had monthly sack-lunch meetings in their homes, and their main concerns were pensions, legislation, insurance, health care, and community service. Now with more than 1,000 county-wide, retired and active school employee members, TCSRA, along with WSSRA, provides:
• Protection of pensions and benefits through lobbying for legislation
• Mini-grants for public school employees
• Scholarships for high school seniors planning careers in education as well as scholarships for student teachers & interns
• Pre-retirement & educational webinars
• A monthly newsletter, a quarterly association news magazine, & an annual member directory
• Health and consumer information
• Community service that benefits children, the elderly, and those in need
• Monthly luncheons & other opportunities for keeping in touch and making new friends
We consider ourselves educators for life. If you are or have been a certificated or classified school employee—from superintendent to school nurse or behavioral psychologist to bus driver—you are welcome at the Thurston County School Retirees’ Association.
