This session presents what retirement looks like and what is available to teachers after retirement. If you think you might be retiring in the next five years or so, this session is of value to you. Topics covered: Why and when to retire? (Retirement requires a different mindset than working from Monday to Friday, ten months of the year. What do you do with all that free time? Volunteer opportunities and part time jobs are some possibilities discussed.) What is ARTA? (The history of the organization and what it has to offer its members in the way of services, information and its infinity program would be the main points of this part of the presentation.

Questions period to follow.
