Thanks are extended to NEOEA-R members for supporting the Mentorship Program with Kent State University.

Beryl has organized the program for 15 years with a lot of help from NEOEA-R members and will be retiring from the task of Chair.  This brings the need for one of our members to step forward to match students with Mentors. .KSEA will ask students in September if they want to be a Mentee this school year.. KSEA will provide names, email addresses and school addresses and their major subjects at Kent. Mentors will be matched with NEOEA-R members who have similar teaching experiences.

The last few years Mentors have not been going to Kent, but meeting virtually through  e-mail, Facetime or Zoom to talk with Mentees. This year campus visits can also be
arranged. Working virtually has been successful because of students’ busy schedules and some Mentors located some distances from Kent.  You will become their “Professional Friend”.

Please let us know if you are interested in becoming a MENTOR this September. Provide what grades you have taught, primary, middle school, or the subjects in high
school.

If you are interested in matching the students with retired members please let Beryl know soon. You may reply to Beryl’s message sent to previous participants or to

retired@neoea.org

Thanks loads for all you have done with this program and advise of your desire to either participate as a Mentor or Chair by mid-August.

Based on responses from our Activities Survey, we are planning a strictly fun event for our members and friends as we visit the Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, which is a captivating way to enjoy the great outdoors.

Whether you want to experience a rotating roster of seasonal activities or retread
your favorite attractions, we’re excited to be your destination to learn, explore,
and grow.

The Highlights Tram Tours provide guests of all ages and mobility levels a chance to discover selected gardens and collections, and learn a little history at the same time. Our tour will begin at 11:00 a.m., and afterwards we’ll have lunch together at an outdoor picnic pavilion.

The $30 fee includes park admission, tram tour, and box lunch.
