Summertime!


Yes, it is warm, but after last winter’s polar vortex, it feels pretty nice. 
We have several things to share, so we’ll start with an event coming up shortly.

Today we were informed that one aspect of MCI’s 60th Anniversary Observance is scheduled for July 20th.  Here is the content of their flyer:


MCI Family, Friends & Retirees Tour Day

Staff and Retiree’s are welcome to bring
family and friends to the MCI’s Tour Day.

On Sunday, July 20th, 2014
From 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. &
4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.

Hot dogs, chips and water will be supplied for staff and guests.

For reservations and questions, please contact:

Lt. Mike Byrd, ext. 2323

Marcus McLittle, ext. 2298


This differs slightly from earlier discussions, but represents an opportunity for our friends and families to check out the place we spent much of our lives.  As any current employee can attest, this isn’t the same place we retired from, in many positive ways.  We have been told there will be additional events and activities.  As the schedule is shared with us, we will share it with you.

On Tuesday, September 2, 2014, at noon, we will be gathering at Ryan’s in Marion for our twice-yearly luncheon.  The room is already reserved.  All you are responsible for is attending, and paying for your own lunch.  If you see or talk to other retirees, be sure to let them know about Ryan’s, and about the free lunches at the Wander Inn the first Wednesday of the month.  If you can find a better deal for lunch, let us know!

The process we use to notify retirees of our meetings, activities, and updates will soon be revised.  Our mailing list consists of 156 listings, covering 162 retirees.   Of those, we have email addresses for 51 listings.  The expense of postage and cards for the remaining 105 listings is slightly over $50 per mailing.  We could use your help.  If you have an email address we can use rather than having us mail a postcard, please let us know. 

That’s all we have for now.  Enjoy the warmth of summer, and I’ll see you at the MCI Family, Friends & Retirees Tour Day on the 20th.


Charles Daniel, President
