Welcome To Our Website<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\"\"Yakima County School Retirees’ Association (YCSRA) is one of 29 local units which comprise Washington State School Retirees’ Association.\u00a0 YCSRA is the largest unit in the state with over 1700 members, both active and retired school employees. Our members are from the city of Yakima as well as the surrounding area including the upper and lower Yakima Valley.

Yakima County School Retirees’ Association meets the\u00a0<\/strong>first Monday of the month in October, November, December, February, March, April & May.\u00a0 There is no January meeting\u00a0.\u00a0 Generally, we gather at 12:30 pm for snacks and socializing. The program begins at 1:00 pm.\u00a0\u00a0It is a great place to meet new friends and greet old ones. We sincerely invite you to attend.\u00a0 Meetings are held at the Englewood Christian Church, 511 N. 44th Avenue, Yakima, Washington.

Washington State School Retirees’ Association is the oldest and largest organization in the state working for the maintenance and improvement of pension benefits for all school employees. With over 18,000 members, an Executive Director, a paid lobbyist and a volunteer Legislative Committee, we are very intentional and effective as we work with the legislature every day that it is in session. We get results. WSSRA is the “squeaky wheel” that is very much needed.

Welcome to our website.
Please take a look around and if you have any questions about becoming a member of Washington State School Retirees’ Association please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

PSST…you don’t have to be retired to be a member!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
