The organization of a Williams County Local Chapter of the Ohio Retired Teachers Association was formulated and officers elected at an informal luncheon held on Tuesday, September 17, 1968 at Everhart's Restaurant in Bryan, OH. Officers first elected for this chapter were:
President: Orville Thomas
Vice-President: Winifred Close
Secretary/Treasurer: Lela Thomas
At the first general meeting of the WCRTA, on October 1, 1968 a chapter constitution was adopted. Dates for chapter meetings we announced and it was announced that dues of $1.00 were payable at a fall meeting.
The WCRTA has grown over the years and now has a membership of 89 members. Each year the chapter selects two scholarship winners from the local schools in Williams County.
