THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT !!!!!! ORTA HAS THE $75,000 and will proceed with the AUDIT OF STRS starting Feb. 1 , 2021 !!!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING ORTA AUDIT OF STRS December , 2020
Ohio's retired teachers have not had a COLA for years , with no end in sight ; yet there are STRS investment staff members who are paid 6 - digit salaries PLUS huge bonuses . Therefore , Ohio's retired teachers are being asked to fund a forensic audit of STRS !!! The one conducting the audit will be Edward "Ted" Siedle , a 'principal' with Benchmark Financial Services , Inc., and a former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission attorney. He co-authored the book , "Who Stole My Pension?" He is globally respected as a pension expert.
Please consider buying this book , for $5 , for ORTA MEMBERS !!!!!
Just contact ORTA in Columbus , and they will send you a copy!!!
I am reading this book now , and the information is very scary and backed up with many examples of forensic audits of several major private and state retirement systems !!!

Warren County
Warren County Quilt Block Story
The Warren County RTA, organized in 1971, carries on a commitment to education in Warren County which began in 1798, with the completion of a log school house build by neighbors in the Lebanon area. Students ranged in age from 8 to 28.
A charter member of WCRTA, Burnett Butterworth, was a descendant of Henry T. Butterworth, a conductor on the Underground Railroad. The Butterworth’s were among the families who arrived in the area in the 1790’s.
Lebanon was also the home of Southwestern Normal School, a teachers’ college which graduated 80,000 students from 1855 to 1915.
Today, WCRTA members are active in volunteer activities in their community and interested in current educational developments.
We always have room for more. Please consider joining us.
All meetings are held at 11:30 a.m. , registration , noon lunch , at _______________ with the exception of the December meeting , at ______________________ .
