Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the website of the Quebec Provincial Association of Retired School Educators (QPARSE). If you are already a member, we hope you enjoy browsing through the site and we'd love to have your reactions and comments. There is a contact form included for this purpose.

If you are not a member, we'd like to invite you to join. Membership is open to all teachers, administrators, consultants, librarians, secretaries, technicians, etc. who were employed by an English school board in Quebec and who are now retired. You will find details of our activities and interests in the following pages, together with a membership application form. The fee is $75.00 for life membership - a one time charge with no further annual dues. Stay in touch with your many retired friends and acquaintances for support and contact, and just to have fun socializing at one of our regular events.

Many of our activities take place in Montreal but we welcome off-island members. The Newsletter and the website provide an excellent way of staying in touch. We would be more than happy to report on your activities in your regions both on the website and in the Newsletter.

Enjoy the website and we look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Pat Steele
President
