INFORMATION
UPDATE
from Ray Reiner,
Executive Director

January 2010

To All HASA Members:

I hope everyone is doing well, and that you had a good holiday and are now preparing for the second half of the school year. There are many issues and concerns that affect the HASA membership and I want you to know that we are addressing these at our monthly Consultation meetings with the Administration. I am also actively engaged in working with individual HASA members and the Administration in an effort to resolve personal issues. We have received cooperation from the Administration in satisfactorily helping many of our membership.

Please contact the HASA office if you have any questions or concerns that you feel we could assist you with. Please give some thought about possible new members that you could encourage to join HASA.

If you are planning to retire at the end of this school year we would very much like to recognize you at our Annual Retirement Reception at the end of the school year. Please contact Pat or Thelma at 713-622-0652 or by e-mail at hasa@sbcglobal.net.

Information will be forthcoming on dates and times for the Reception and some Meet and Greet activities. It’s a pleasure working with all of you. Please contact our office if we can be of any assistance.

Sincerely,

Ray Reiner
Executive Director
