Come join NCRGEA as we celebrate Meals on Wheels during Community Champion Week 2023!
Meals on Wheels has claimed the month of March as its time to join forces to strengthen the impact of its efforts and rally communities to increase awareness for Meals and Wheels and recruit the support needed to meet rising demand.
Our members have asked to do much more in the community! We hope you will join with Meals on Wheels for one or multiple shifts ~ you decide!
There are volunteer opportunities for the week of March 20-24. Click here to volunteer with local MOW groups who are joining our efforts and follow their guidelines for registration. Not all MOW have signed up, but feel free to volunteer at a MOW near you if your community is not showing on this list.
We will mail Volunteer T-shirts to the first 250 volunteers ~ fill out your NCRGEA Interest Form soon!
Any questions, please contact NCRGEA Community Liaison, Deryl Davis Fulmer at deryl@ncrgea.com.
“As the Court stated, ‘These employees reasonably relied on the promise of this benefit in choosing to accept employment with the State. They are entitled to the benefit of their bargain, which includes eligibility to enroll in a premium-free plan offering the same or greater coverage value as the one available to them when their rights vested.’”
“This decision has been a long time in coming. We are grateful to the attorneys, led by Christopher Whelchel and Michael Carpenter at the Gray Layton Kersh firm in Gastonia, with great assistance from attorneys Sam McGee and Gary Jackson, who have worked so hard for so long to protect retirees’ rights. We are also grateful to AARP and the North Carolina Association of Educators for their support.”
“We agree with the Court’s determination that this dispute raises issues of profound importance to the hundreds of thousands of dedicated public employees who devoted their lives to serving their fellow North Carolinians, often for far less immediate remuneration than would have been available to them in the private sector.”
The Lake Case court decision may be viewed on the North Carolina Judicial Branch website.
Sherry Gerald Beck is the winner of the January 2022 Trivia game. She lives in Lexington, NC, located in District 3. Sherry is married to David Beck and has two grown children, a daughter and son-in-law and 2 grandchildren.
Sherry retired in 2013 from South Davidson Middle School where she served as assistant principal. She likes the fact that NCRGEA keeps retirees up to date on the legislature, promoting and protecting our benefits and the great work of our lobbyists.
Sherry stated that the best thing about retirement is staying active. She and her husband are members of the Thomasville Senior Club and participate in several groups who entertain at Senior Centers. She was crowned Ms. Senior Davidson County in 2016. She performs with the “Sassyfrazz” and “Seniors Spreading Sunshine” that perform for seniors throughout many counties. She is learning to clog, belly dance, sing, backup dance and how to play the ukulele.
Sherry’s advice to everyone regarding COVID is to treat this with seriousness. She further advised that we should all go out and be active wherever possible while following CDC guidelines. She said, “Life should continue and not stand still!”
Sherry stated, “I am so excited about being the winner of the trivia game. Everyone should complete trivia for a chance to win. I am pleased to be a member of NCRGEA and have people concerned about my welfare.” Congratulations Sherry Beck!!
