The Retired Educators  of Albert Lea will meet at noon Thursday at the Albert Lea American Legion, according to a press release.  Lunch served will be a pork tenderloin sandwich, salad and beverage for $10.  Kathy Neibuhr, director of administrative services for District 241, will give an update on the school system, new programs, initiatives, testing, etc. Those who have not been contacted by Sunday night and would like to attend should call Ann Berry at 507-373-6004 to make a reservation. 

March is Minnesota Food Share Month.  Money collected at the meeting will be shared between the Salvation Army Emergency Food Pantry and the Ecumenical Food Shelf  (unless you specify one or the other on your check); they receive matching grants through corporate and donated funds through the Channel One Food Bank. To make the collection easier for the committee, attendees are asked to bring a  check or cash to the March meeting instead of food items.
