Region 8
Retirees

Welcome to our webpage.

In support of the statewide goals and benefits of the NYSPEF Retiree organization, our chapter holds seven monthly meetings and two social events annually.

Our regular meetings are held on the first monday of the month, accept for September, when we meet the second monday. No meetings are held in January, July or August.

Our meetings are currently held at Pine Grove Methodist Church, 1580 Central Ave., Colonie and start at 12 noon. The meetings include a short business agenda, a speaker, updates on legislation impacting us and a light lunch with time to interact with the other members.

We have two social events annually: a picnic in June & Holiday lunch in Dec.

The chapter members continue to be active and we have:

• Three representatives on the PEF Region 8 PAC
• Several representatives to the NYS Alliance for Retired Americans and the CDARA
• Continued to petition the state legislature for passage of legislation including a Health Insurance bill to make our Health benefits permanent and are working towards an increase to the COLA.
• Work phone banks and leafleting for endorsed candidates
• Marched in Rallies with active members to show support

I hope you’ll join with us as we go forward,
