POSTPONED!

​As the COVID-19 crisis escalates, you will not be surprised to hear that we are postponing events that would bring our “mature” members together – at a time when we are to focus on isolation and social distancing. As a result:

·         The Coffee and Conversation planned for Wed April 15 has been cancelled, although we hope to convene such a gathering later in the year when (if?) life returns to normal.
     The AGM planned for Tuesday May 12 has been postponed. We hope that it can be rescheduled toward the end of May, but that remains to be seen. Stay tuned for further announcements about the AGM and don’t forget to check our website periodically for updates.

Looking for resources in these very strange times?

Our illustrious scribe and social convenor Dick Tindal,  having arrived back from his palatial winter home in Myrtle Beach, and locked up in safe and splendid isolation since he came back to Kingston, published an excellent and informative list of resources for residents of the apartment building where he lives.
​This triggered our thoughts (actually Dick triggered our thoughts) that we could get lots of information for retirees and seniors (and returning travelers) on the website of the Seniors Association of Kingston. They have compiled an impressive list of resources available for those in isolation or quarantine in Kingston.Grocery stores, pharmacies, delivery services, shopping hours, restaurants that deliver, you name it.  Check it out here

Sun Life Benefits booklet has been updated.

The College HR Department has announced that the Sun Life Benefits booklets have been updated. This will be of potential interest to those retirees who remained with the college benefits program, rather than shifting – as many  did – to OTIP or other benefits programs.
        If you remained with the college benefits program and want to look at these booklets, you should contact the HR Department on your campus to see about obtaining a printed copy of these materials. While they are available on line, within the college intranet, this site can only be accessed with an SLC email address – something not available to virtually all retirees.

 Root Cellar Memories

Dick Tindal's Retiree Association column in a recent issue of Voyageur  focused on the Root Cellar and its role in the rich social life of the college in the early decades. Dick  issued an invitation to our members to share their memories of this venerable site.  He is pleased to pass along this contribution from John Mason which illustrates the extensive volunteer activities of early Root Cellar members.
