The Tri-Lakes Unit of the Missouri Retired Teachers and Public School Personnel Association will present a special award to a deserving community leader.
During their upcoming meeting, the organization will honor Roger Frieze with the Apple from the Teacher Award.
Each year, the Tri-Lakes Unit selects an individual or organization that provides a significant service to children and public education. Mr. Frieze will be bestowed this award during the Retired Teachers November meeting, as members share their experiences that led to Mr. Frieze being the award recipient.
Also on the organization's November agenda is a report from the MRTA Region 10 Fall Conference, held last month in Ava, MO. Following the meeting, members will be touring the Festival of Trees, a fundraising event held at the Branson Landing, to raise money for Christian Action Ministries. Several members of the Tri-Lakes Unit volunteer at the Festival of Trees Fundraiser, and the unit donated two decorated wreaths to this year's Festival of Trees, as well. The group will then have lunch at the Bricktown Brewery, at the south end of the Branson Landing.
All retired teachers and public school personnel are welcome to attend this meeting, set for Tuesday, November 12, at 10 a.m. in the conference room in the lower level of the Library Center of the Ozarks, 200 South 4th Street in Branson.
The organization is dedicated to working with the state legislature to promote public education and protect the Missouri Public Education Pension system.
