The first event of the ASURA year is on Tuesday, September 12th, co-hosted by the Luncheon & Special Events and Seminar Committees, is our annual Meet & Greet Party with Free Pizza! It is a chance to welcome our New Retirees and reconnect with former colleagues and long-time friends. Members of the ASURA Board, Committee Chairs, and Liaisons will be present and will announce events that are already planned for 2017/2018. This is also an opportunity to express your interest in volunteering to participate on one of the various committees.

The party program starts at 11:15 with a panel of recently retired ASURA members discussing “Things I Wish I Had Known When I Retired”. While this panel is intended to help the very recently retired, all members are invited to attend and share their experiences with the attendees. Past sessions have been lively, interactive, and helpful. The informal setting provides good opportunities for networking and meeting new friends. The panel will be chaired by Bev Buddee with Ruth Jones and Larry Carlson joining Bev on the Panel.
 
Spouses/partners/friends are welcome. If you know of retirees who have not joined ASURA invite them; the more the merrier!
