The Club’s Retire Ready! For Active and Already Retired Members

 

FOR THOSE ALREADY RETIRED
The Retiree Society

A community for Retired City employees to connect, share stories and stay active through events, resources and friendships.

 



Event Recap

In May, the Retiree Society hosted several fantastic events. We also attended RLACEI’s Western Roundup Picnic, where we connected with more than 200 Retirees!

As we continue our efforts, we’re reminded of Brené Brown’s powerful words: 

“Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”

Below are a few pictures from these recent events to give you a glimpse into the wonderful connections being made!

Retired? Let’s Stay Connected!

The Retiree Society has created a special Facebook group just for you to reconnect, share stories, and stay updated on all the great benefits still available to you through the Club.

Whether you’re traveling, picking up a new hobby, or just enjoying a slower pace, this is your space to connect with others who’ve walked a similar path.

Join the conversation today! 

Go straight to the group on Facebook. Once you’re there, introduce yourself by sharing:

  •   When you retired
  •   What department or agency you worked for
  •   What you’re enjoying most about retirement so far

We can’t wait to hear your stories and see this community grow. Welcome again—and cheers to this new chapter!
