BUTTERFLY GARDEN at Egan Cottage at the Sheriff’s Youth Ranch in Safety Harbor. Members donated the bench a few years ago in memory and appreciation of Fred and Betty Egrè.

AEOP Meeting Minutes
Citrus County's educators have met the challenges of teaching during a pandemic with determination, creativity, patience, and care--all to keep students safe and learning. There is no doubt that our public school employees have truly gone above and beyond to support students and the community as a whole. Here's your opportunity to show appreciation for the unique contributions of the teachers and school staff who are making a difference every day!
Submit a shout-out to the teacher or school staff member that you'd like to recognize and we'll deliver your message to them along with a small token of appreciation!

Welcome to the first edition of the newly resurrected union newsletter The Advocate!
Much of what you see looks just like before but, like everything else, you are reading it online. Starting with this issue we will be returning to our regular publication schedule of two issues each long semester. At least through Fall, 2021 we will be coming to you through your computer inbox instead of your office mailbox. After that, we’ll see. We may return to print. We may stay online. We may adopt a hybrid format. Times change (sometimes abruptly) and we are changing, too.
What will not change is our commitment to providing the Lone Star College Community with important news and quality insight into the life of our Institution. We will keep you abreast of the work that the AFT is doing (and has been doing all through pandemic) to advocate for Policy and to advocate for People – because the name of our newsletter is what we do!
Read on, dear friends. We are back! Click here to read our lastest edition of The Advocate!
We know the pandemic conditions are getting to all of us and we have not been able to provide trips for the first half of this year and we need a break from the malaise. Therefore, A&R is going to hold some games for prizes over the next few Wednesdays!
