Brant Branch News
RWTO-Brant begins their year with a Membership Breakfast at the Sherwood Restaurant. We welcome returning members and new ones. Our guest speaker this year is Christine Pizzey from “Child Hunger Brantford”, a non-profit organization providing weekly school lunches for children.
We look forward to increasing our membership as we came in second for the Barbara Bain award at Convention, and inviting or joining other branches in our area for membership meetings throughout the year.
RWTO-Brant meets eight times a year and we welcome New Members and Associates. Retired Teachers (Elementary, Secondary, Public, Catholic and Private), Administrative Assistants, Educational Assistants, Bus Drivers and Custodians are invited to look at this Calendar of Events and join us for activities of interest. We leave the months of December, June, July, and August free for family vacations and celebrations.
