Members of the Dallas County Area Retired School Personnel Association (DCARSPA) enjoyed travel stories from speaker Laurie Wernli at their November meeting.
Wernli spoke about her travel experiences and shared many useful tips on planning a vacation. Although she said she particularly enjoyed the Alaska cruise that she and her husband took, they prefer to travel independently.
Wernli said she caught the travel bug at age 16 when she went on a “Search For Values” trip to London. Everything was so different, and she was full of wonder at all she saw, she said. This led to a curiosity about the world that has not ceased.
DCARSPA is composed of retired school personnel from around Dallas County. They will soon be offering two $250 grants to educators in Dallas County to use in enhancing education in their classrooms. They also collected $2,507 for the local Toys and Gifts for Perry drive.
