RCEA Retirement Reception 2008

The RCEA held its annual retirement reception on May 19, 2008 at Hidden Valley Middle School. The organization honored the member retirees, recognized employees with 25 years of service to the profession, and announced winners of our 2008 RCEA Memorial Scholarships.

Our gathering was a special time for retirees to share a few moments with the audience in an intimate setting. Without a doubt, the audience felt the power and emotion of the day leaving memories that will last.

The RCEA Memorial Scholarships were awarded to three Roanoke County high school seniors who plan to pursue a career in education. Ali Broyles and Erika Troia from Hidden Valley High School , as well as Meredith Buckley from Glenvar High School were this year's recipients of our awards. These students were most impressive, and it is our genuine hope that they consider returning to Roanoke County when they've finished their college degree programs.




Betty Mosier (retired from Mountain View Elementary) serenaded the gathering with lovely piano.

Johnny Simpson took charge of distributing flowers.
