Regarding past-President R. Cospers request made to the Presidents office that he inform SMURA regarding recent retirees, and the deaths of faculty members, the current President reported that there has been a lot of cooperation on this issue. The office of President of SMURA, she added, is becoming a liaison point for this kind of important information, and that that development is very helpful.
The on-campus office for retirees is now in the Burke Building, Room 308. The room contains a computer for our use, but no printer. The key-code necessary to enter the room was said to be easy to remember, and can be obtained from R. Cosper or G. Thomas. Our website, HYPERLINK "http://www.smu.ca/retirees," http://www.smu.ca/retirees, has the relevant contact information. It was mentioned that a second-hand sofa would be a welcome addition to the furnishings.
Concerning the issue of continued health-care coverage into retirement, a letter has been written to SMUFU, but no reply has been received. There seems to be no movement on this issue. Related to this, the President mentioned that on Tuesday, June 14, SMURA and SMUFU are co-sponsoring a session on post-retirement health care, to take place in ME 111 begining at 2:00 p.m., with lunch to follow in the Faculty Lounge at 3:00. Among the presenters will be Garfield Moffatt of MacLellan and Moffatt Financial, a brokerage for several health insurance providers. 3. The Annual Report of the President : This document will be posted on SMURAs website, HYPERLINK "http://www.smu.ca/retirees;" http://www.smu.ca/retirees; what follows briefly highlights some of its contents:
SMURA addresses complementary aspects of our members interests: the social side (e.g., gatherings at the Falks, the Henry House and the Victory Arms) and the professional side (among these, ongoing concerns around issues of health care and pensions);
presentations by Michael Devenney (Making Effective Decisions in Retirement), Terry Gordon (Housing Issues for Seniors), and Henry Roper (T. Raddalls Halifax, Warden of the North) were well attended and well received;
An Atlantic regional conference of retirees associations, co-hosted by SMURA and Dalhousies Retirees Association, is scheduled for Saturday, October 1, 2011, 4th-floor lounge of the Sobey Building, centered on the theme, Engagement with your university, your community, your mind. Keynote speakers will include Leonard Preyra (engagement with the community) and Ian Murray of Acadia University (engagement with ones own university). Other presentations will focus on senior colleges in Nova Scotia, PEI, and Toronto. The registration fee of $20.00 includes lunch and coffee breaks;
members were invited to make suggestions for future activities and events;
the President and three other members of SMURAs executive attended a meeting held last fall at the Dalhousie Faculty Club, regarding the creation of a provincial association of university retirees. Our representatives concluded that more exploration of this idea is required, and that the Executive is not prepared to recommend that we move toward the formation of such a body;
SMURA stationery has been printed, and is obtainable in the Associations office;
We have not yet received an answer from President Dodds concerning reduced Tower fees for our members;
A volunteer would be welcome to take charge of sending out greeting and sympathy cards on behalf of the Association, when appropriate;
An Executive Motion was passed, to the effect that the spouses and partners of deceased members be invited to become associate members, for the purpose of attending our public presentations and social events.
The issue of reduced or free tuition for seniors attending Saint Marys courses was briefly discussed. J. Young has been in touch informally with President Dodds about this issue, and will follow up. 4. Treasurer's Report and Budget Items: The Treasurer was unable to attend the AGM and had sent her regrets. She submitted an updated written report dated April 20, 2011, showing a current balance of $1229.49.
5. Membership and Setting of Dues: It was suggested that a dues reminder be sent out to the membership. 6. Election of Officers: The President remarked on the excellent working relationships among the officers which have been established this year. G. Mitchell agreed to stand for nomination as a Member-at-Large. It was moved (A. Murphy, R. Marshall) that the present officers be re-elected for the coming year, and that G. Mitchell be elected as a Member-at-Large. Carried unanimously. 7. Appointment of an Auditor: This matter is pending. 8. Future meetings and Activities of SMURA: The President invited ideas, names, themes, etc., for possible future meetings and public presentations. The following were suggested: the preparation of gourmet entrees and desserts, to be served at someones home, or in a public venue, as an incentive to new, potential members; presentations on post-retirement faculty research activities: R. Cosper and T. Farrell have agreed to work on this; attendance, perhaps preceded by a dinner, at theatre or concert events; a social luncheon some time over the summer; possible venues: Inn on the Lake, The Bicycle Thief; a presentation of members photographic work; a cinema presentation, possibly involving the holdings of the film curator at Dalhousie University; G.F. Young will explore this idea further. 9. Other Business: Hearing none, it was moved (J. Young, W. Katz) that the meeting be adjourned. Carried, at 4:20 p.m. -respectfully submitted May 25, 2011 A. Farrell, Secretary, SMURA
