Oct. 16—The Lake County Retired Teachers Association's next luncheon meeting will be returning to The Kirtland Party Center, 9270 Chillicothe Road in Kirtland, on Nov. 14.

Social time begins at 11 a.m., followed at 11:30 by the program in which Rebecca McFarland will present "The Cleveland Years of Eliot Ness," according to a news release. Lunch will be served following the program.

The menu is chicken piccata with long grain wild rice and green beans; vegetarian option is

stuffed portobello mushroom with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and a balsamic glaze. All meals include rolls and butter, house salad with balsamic and ranch dressings and beverages. Dessert will be the chef's special cheesecake.

Reservations must be made in advance by sending a check payable to "LCRTA" for $26 to Karen Sawitke at 9399 Ridgeside Drive, Mentor, OH, 44060. Indicate meal choice on the memo line of the check.

The deadline of Nov. 1, 2023, will be strictly enforced, the release stated.

McFarland is internationally recognized as an expert on the life and times of Eliot Ness, and her research has been requested for magazines, books, movies, radio and television specials, according to the release. She was personally entrusted with the ashes of Eliot, his widow Elisabeth and their adopted son Robert.

At the luncheon community participation is donations for Hope Chest. Current needs are gloves, hats, mittens, boots, blankets, sheets and more, the release stated. LCRTA will also continue to collect the pull tabs from aluminum cans which will be delivered to McDonald House.

Attendees are asked to bring both donations to the meeting.

All retired teachers who have retired under STRS of Ohio, or an out-of-state retirement system, are invited to attend the luncheon and are eligible for membership. Associate memberships of $10 are available to others interested in the objectives of the chapter and of public education.
