MILO — The Milo Town Hall dining room was the setting for the dinner meeting Tuesday of the Piscataquis County Retired Teachers’ Association. Forty members attended the meeting.

Phyllis Foss of Dover-Foxcroft, president, led the members in the Collect, the Lord’s Prayer and the Flag Salute. Various reports were given by officers.

Members were told that the association was considering making honorary members those who were shut-ins, living in nursing homes or otherwise unable to attend regularly. Members were told that there are several who were regular members and attended the meetings but now are unable to attend because of illness or age.

John Glover, legislative chairman, reported on the possibility that some of the members are not members of the Maine Retired Teachers Association. He said MRTA dues are $5 in addition to the county association dues of $2.
