Welcome to the start of another year! Cooler weather is only a month away. I hope you all had an enjoyable and productive summer, but now it’s time to get back to the business of being retired. This month’s E-News has something on the following topics:

•  September ASURA Board Meeting
•  Identity Protection
•  Finding Sponsors
• Questions and Answers from Meet and Greet Pizza Party

September Board Meeting

The meeting was mostly getting organized for the upcoming year. The annual budget was presented and approved.

Identity Protection

ASU now offers AllClear Identity Repair as a free service for all current and retired faculty and staff, as well as students, applicants and their parents. This new benefit gives you automatic identity repair assistance – no sign-up required – if you ever suspect that your identity has been stolen.

Finding Sponsors

ASURA is looking for people who would find sponsors for the ASURA Golf Tournament. If you or someone you know is good at fund-raising and would volunteer for this, please contact President Jeri Meeks Volunteers do not have to be members of ASURA. Proceeds help fund the scholarship we give annually to an ASU student who is returning after a break in studies.

Questions and Answers from the Meet and Greet Pizza Party

During the Meet and Greet party the following two questions arose:

• Can I purchase a reduced fee ASU parking decal? The answer is that ASURA members can. See ASU Parking Benefit on the ASURA website for details.
• How can I offer my services to ASURA members? The answer is that you can advertise your services in Prime Times; see Prime Times Advertising on the ASURA website for details.
