Each year California Retired Teacher Association, or CalRTA, highlights retired teachers' contributions to schools and the community by celebrating Retired Teachers Week.
In 2021, California valued volunteer time at $35.56 per hour. The CalRTA members submitted their totals of volunteer hours which resulted in nearly $69 million worth of volunteer time.
In addition, last year, CalRTA and its members provided grants, scholarships and donations to schools and teachers. This giving is continuing in 2022. This is definitely a reason to celebrate!
CalRTA Division 35 of Lake County will be celebrating retired teachers by holding its scheduled meeting/luncheon at the Riviera Restaurant on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
If you are interested in joining CalRTA (teachers do not have to be retired to join.) and want more information about this organization, please go to the website www.div35.calrta.org or call Judy Fletcher, Division 35 president, at 707-263-6317.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — A scholarship fund has been established to support the youth of Kelseyville in honor of Martha Stokes Panella.
Martha “Muffie” Stokes Panella had been a lifelong resident of Kelseyville when her life was cut short by breast cancer.
Muffie was an active, much-loved community member who always enjoyed supporting Kelseyville projects.
The memorial fund was launched at the 2021 Kelseyville Pear Festival, where community members generously donated the initial funds.
Her family has since contributed, ensuring that the fund will award students for decades to come.
The committee that established and oversees the fund includes Kelseyville School Board member Allison Panella, Laura Stokes, Janice Stokes, Caitlin Panella and Cindy Bain.
The committee looks forward to awarding Kelseyville High School Students this year and into the future.
To make a tax-deductible donation to the Martha Stokes Memorial Fund or for questions contact Allison Panella at 707.483.2383.
