Dear Fellow Retiree,
Happy New Year! Our sincere thanks to Jim Hughes for his excellent leadership as our 2009 President. Jim is serving as Vice President and Secretary for 2010.
Since our last mailing in August, the Club has had several successful events:
l Golf Outing at the Emerald Greens Club in October
l Financial Planning Panel in October
l Participation in a joint employees/retirees picnic organized by IBM Club in October
l Medicare and IBM Medical Benefits Seminars in November
l Participation in volunteer opportunities with the IBM Employee Volunteer Council
Your participation and feedback have been key to the success of these events. We have continued to factor in your suggestions and build on our experience to offer social, information and volunteer opportunities that are of interest to you.
Following are some of the events planned for this year. Flyer is enclosed for the first event and is also available on our website:
l Income Tax Update Seminar - March 2
l Retiree/Active Employee’s Spring Golf Outing - May 7

Please be sure to continually check the website at www.itbrc.org for current and upcoming events as well as opportunities for volunteerism. Also, if your e-mail ID or other information has changed, please update it using the website.
We are looking for several volunteers to join the Steering Council and to help us organize future events. If you are interested, please call me at 813-968-3188.
