April 2006

Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment will be from May 8 to June 2. To change your health plans, disability insurance, life insurance benefit, or Flex Plan contribution please contact Human Resources.

LMEA Elections

LMEA elections will be held May 16 in your building before and after work. If you are interested in running for an elected position, please contact Elaine DeStephano at Merion.

Retirement 2006

If you plan to retire this year, the LMEA urges you to let us know and schedule an exit appointment with Human Resources as soon as possible. There is an advantage to declaring your retirement early with PSERS and understanding your retirement entitlements and benefits in advance of your retirement. Congratulations to all upcoming retirees!

LMEA Spring Banquet

This year, the LMEA Spring Banquet will be held at Clothier Hall in Lower Merion on Wednesday, May 31. Please avoid scheduling events that will conflict with this date and mark your calendar to attend. This is always a spectacular event. Come and celebrate. This year we have combined the Banquet with the Annual LMEA Retiree luncheon. The evening will be an opportunity to reminisce with retired colleagues and co-workers as well. The cost is $35.00. Tickets will be sold as we get closer to event by your building rep.
