CRTA lauds extraordinary volunteers

Retired educators throughout the state are spotlighting exceptional volunteers within their ranks who have donated thousands of hours of their time to community activities.

California Retired Teachers Association (CRTA) Avocado Division #81, Fallbrook, recently recognized members for their exemplary commitments to community services. Those recognized were: Wilma Yetz for her 5,040 hours of service in 2005-06 and Karin Schag, who has accumulated 339 service hours in the last two months.

These retired teachers are proving to be excellent role models for volunteerism, offering their services willingly for the good of another without being paid or recompensed. In 2005-06, the Fallbrook division alone has compiled 31,563 hours of service valued at $569,400.

Retired teachers continue to pitch in and encourage others to do the same.
