In 2022, the Evansville Retired Teachers Associated celebrated our 60th Anniversary and was recently honored at the Indiana Retired Teachers Association as one of the oldest chapters in the state. In October, 1962, a group of EVSC teachers in Evansville initially formed a Retired Teacher social group to renew friendships of their teaching years. In 2010, the Retired Teachers group voted to join the Indiana Retired Teachers Association (IRTA) and the name of the organization became Evansville Retired Teachers Association (ERTA) located in Region 9. After humble beginnings sixty years ago, we continue to meet regularly and we serve our community with many hours of volunteer work. The Evansville Retired Teachers website and our The Evansville Retired Teachers Facebook page provides examples of our programs and our work in the community.
The Evansville Retired Teachers Association (ERTA) is a vital educational organization of 206 active retired teachers who selflessly give of their time and financial resources to various non-profit community organizations such as Teacher Locker, Frog Follies, Tri-State Food Bank, and Hangers. Last year, our chapter reported 10,000 hours of volunteer work in our community. ERTA meets five times during the school year with a luncheon and program featuring such speakers as U of E Coach David Ragland, Bill Bussing – Otters Baseball, the Evansville Wartime Museum, and performance by many local musicians, including EVSC high school choirs and musician Monte Skelton.
