Retired teachers luncheon

Everyone here worked for the Rio Linda Union School District for most of their careers. In 2007, RLUSD merged with 3 other school districts to become Twin Rivers Unified. A very nice venue at Northridge Country Club and the food was great.

Lots of fun to see colleagues and friends. Georgene in navy sweater:

Retired teachers’ luncheon

The people who attend are all retired from Rio Linda Union School District (or Twin Rivers USD if it was after 2003). The group is definitely shrinking as we all keep getting older.

Congratulations Bill and Ann Brooks.
Family and friends – a lot of us worked together as teachers in the Rio Linda Union School District – which no longer exists, it blended into Twin Rivers Unified.

Thank you Linda for having all of us over. Dinner was delicious.

Val & Chuck’s summer party

An annual event that everyone totally enjoys. Almost everyone is a retired teacher/employee from Rio Linda Union School District, before or somewhat after it morphed into Twin Rivers Unified School District.

Get-together with friends

We met at Adrienne’s. We are all retired teachers from RLUSD/TRUSD, except Ellen was a speech therapist. All of us did CELDT testing last September/October, except for Linda who works part-time as a teacher for home-schoolers. Back row L-R: Val, Adrienne, Georgene, Linda, Ellen. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Terrible picture. I need a new camera, but being the terrible shopper I am, it’s taking a long time.
