MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING PRESDENT

The  National Committee extends a warm welcome to our new members who have recently joined RSTA. Your support will add strength to the voice of RSTA in its advocacy in the interests of retired secondary teachers.

I would like to acknowledge the voluntary contribution of our branch officers, most of whom have served for many years and to appeal all members to make a special effort to attend their branch meetings and events for the coming year.

Ní neart go cur le  chéile!               Micheál O'Neill,  Acting President
