Dear Retiree,

Congratulations: Welcome to the Wonderful World of Retirement

Many of you will be inclined to sit back and watch time go by, while others will engage in their favorite hobby, sport or volunteer project. Some will even look for a part time job to fill their time.

Regardless of the path you choose, one good way to enjoy retirement is to join the “Hamilton Sundstrand Retirees Club.” Our regular meeting is held on the second Wednesday of each month at a location and time as announced in the “Reporter”, our monthly on-line newspaper. This paper also highlights other less formal breakfast and lunches that are held at various times and has pictures of many of the attendees.

To join and make new friends or reacquaint with old friends access the “Reporter” at;

To be Held: Second Wednesday of the month
