BRANCH ACTIVITY FEES:

WCRTA branch activity fees can be paid at the door for those that need.
$5 for one year or better yet $20 for five years.  Cash only please.

First year is complimentary for new retirees.

For those 2026 retirees that were unable to make the brunch in August, we look forward to welcoming you to this event, and your branch.  Your lunch will be complimentary.

ARTCF FUNDRAISER:

Just as we have done in the past, we will be raising funds for the Alberta Retired Teachers Charitable Foundation (ARTCF) at the luncheon. The ARTCF supports projects for seniors in Alberta, and unlike many charities, less than 5% of the funds go to overhead costs. Last year we raised $3785.00.

If you wish to contribute, please bring a cheque payable to Alberta Retired Teachers Charitable Foundation or ARTCF so that the foundation will be able to issue you a tax receipt at the appropriate time.  Cash donations are also welcome but you would not receive a tax receipt.  Check out information about the foundation on the ARTA website.

For security reasons, once our activities commence in the auditorium, the outside doors will be locked.  If you are running late, not to worry. There are buzzers at both entrances.

Please spread the word about the luncheon and encourage others to attend.  Try to bring someone new or someone that hasn’t attended in a while.  Offer a ride, especially to those colleagues who no longer drive.

RSVP by Monday November, 23, 2026 to:
fwctschabold@shaw.ca or 403-783-6436 if you are attending or not.
Responding lets us know that we still have your correct contact.

Looking forward to a good turnout.  Hope to see you there.
