LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The week of Nov. 4 to 10 is California’s annual Retired Teachers Week.

Since 1999 the California Retired Teachers Association, or CalRTA, has sponsored Retired Teachers Week as a way to say thank you to former educators, schools and programs.

Joyce Anderson, president of CalRTA Lake County Division 35, announced that the chapter is holding a celebration to honor retired teachers at the Fore Family Vineyards Tasting Room at 3920 Main St. in Kelseyville on Friday, Nov. 2, from 4 to 6 p.m.

Come celebrate life after retirement. Join them for appetizers. A no host wine bar will also be available.

Last year, some former students shared how teachers positively influenced their future. They hope others will take the time this year to thank a former teacher or teachers who made a difference in their lives in recognition of this special week.
