Moor, 2012-2013 ASURA President Well! Here we are again. This is the second President’s Message during my term of office and one my memory would have caused me to miss had it not been for the organization skills of the ladies (Wilma Mathews and Jeannette Robson) who actually put together this excellent newsletter. Last time I ended with a plea for participation in the ASURA. I will start with a similar plea. Remember, this is your organization and it only succeeds through the efforts of its executive officers, board members and, most especially, the individual association members. Join us! We have plenty of opportunities for everyone to find a niche, contribute and have a good time doing it. This is especially true if you see something we are not doing but which you are good at. Contact me or any member of the board and let us know what you can help us with. Over the course of the summer, while we have not met, we have not been in hibernation. Several projects have gone forward to near completion due to the efforts of various board members. Chief among these is the evaluation of data base services for the management of our member records and events. Connie McNeill, Barry McNeill and Carolyn Minner have put in long hours on this effort and, at this point, are about ready to conduct training classes and implement the system (Wild Apricot). We believe that all members will appreciate the advantages of Wild Apricot and that implementing it truly reflects the value of the dues increase we experienced this spring. Everyone will have direct contact with a full membership roster, the ability to update their own information, register for events on line and be able to receive receipts from ASURA. Hooray for the computer world! A second project concerns the continuing improvement of our ASU Video History project. Efforts by Linda Van Scoy and Dave Scheatzle are being undertaken which may result in ASURA having a “new” office which can be outfitted as a permanent studio of conducting interviews. Not having to lug expensive equipment from site to site will surely improve our efficiency. In addition, it should become possible to edit the video tapes and transcribe them “in-house”. I have long felt this project is something of lasting value to the entire ASU community and urge you all to support it. Retiree’s Day is in the planning phases and it looks like you all will have the chance to influence the choice of speakers and topics. This is something for which I urge everyone to take advantage.

By Barbara Bradford Eschbach and Gary Kleemann The first event of the ASURA calendar for 2012-2013 drew a hungry crowd of 50 to the Community Service Building September 12th. This event gives attendees the opportunity to greet new ASURA retirees/members, welcome potential new members and reconnect with old friends. For 11 attendees, this was their first ASURA event. Members of the ASURA board of directors were present as were the chairs of the ASURA committees, who announced those activities currently planned or in the works. Prior to the start of the Meet-and-Greet, the Seminars Committee sponsored a discussion featuring recent ASU retirees addressing the topic of “Things I Wish I Had Known When I First Retired.” Jay Butler and Gary Kleeman offered their insights to a group of 15 recent ASU retirees. Your Books = Needed Scholarship By Mary Stevens Now that you’re settled (or still getting settled) in your retirement from ASU, you may, like many of us, find that you have more books in your home than you know what to do with. ASURA can help solve that problem and, in the process, help a student complete his or her studies. ASURA will collect your books and sell them through an established vendor. Proceeds from these sales are put toward the association’s scholarship program which provides a tuition scholarship each year to a returning student (one who has been away from higher education studies for a period of time) or to a community college student, based on financial need and other criteria. You will be provided with a gift tax receipt by the ASU Foundation, which administers ASURA accounts. For more information and/or to schedule a book pickup, please contact: Mary Stevens at marystevens0@gmail.com or 602-758-3750.

Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) Health Insurance Plans By Art Ashton & Robert Moroney, ADOA Insurance Liaisons Open Enrollment is rapidly approaching. During the coming open enrollment period, you will have an opportunity to make changes to your Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) benefits for the 2013 Plan year beginning January 1, 2013. If you do not want to make changes to your current benefits, no action is required. Again this year, you can make changes using the online form or with the Arizona State University Retirees Association Prime Times Here are five questions for you to consider as you review the Enrollment Guide: 1. What is new this year? Make sure you understand changes in relevant health insurance plans. What would the plan cost me?

(Continued from page 5) ASURA Genealogy Seminar By Bill Stasi The first ASURA Seminar for the fall academic year focused on genealogy and how and where to find your ancestral roots. A turn-out of 27 individuals attended the event at The Family Search Library in Mesa. Elders Steve Packer and Gordon Mulleneaux (an alumnus of ASU) gave both an informative lecture and assistance on the computers. The seminar provided the keys to start on the road to researching ancestry. Attendees learned where the repositories are located that hold the facts needed to put their genealogy puzzle together. Many individuals found links to their roots while trolling on the computer segment of the seminar. Most, if not all attendees, left with a greater knowledge and greater respect for the process. Everyone took home photos of their earliest ancestors and a plethora of handouts of valuable information for continued research. All left with a certificate of achievement to hang on the refrigerator.

Last year the committee increased the total number of interviews to 82, with about half of those done by the in-house crew.
