In keeping with the times, NARFE has made available online blogs and interactive forms which represent less paper waste, online NARFE pamphlets, the GEMS (Global Email Messaging System) Hotline which is a downloadable newsletter, email, and messaging service, and we are asking each member to get involved electronically.  This, however, is proving to be the hardest task as some of the older members aren't as computer-savvy.  This is second only to recruiting young Federal Employees.

In Kentucky where we are located, each Chapter has a blog which is used to provide their members of meeting information, fond memories,  and photo gatherings.

1.A voice on Capitol Hill;

2.An award-winning monthly magazine and exclusive website access;

3.Electronic alerts to legislation affecting your income and health care security;

4. Access to NARFE’s Legislative Action Center, weekly Legislative Hotlines and a widevariety of information available only to members via our website;

5.Exclusive access to a set of easy-to-use online financial planning tools and eseminar;

6.Eligibility for college scholarships and disaster relief grants;

7. Discounts on hotels, cruises, vacation tours, car rentals, bankcards and more.

Dear NARFE member,

In an effort to provide you with the latest tools to plan your retirement, I am pleased to announce that NARFE is now offering members exclusive access to an easy-to-use set of online retirement planning tools, including a retirement benefits calculator.

eSeminar Plus was developed by Economic Systems Inc. of Falls Church, VA, and is believed by many retirement experts to be the best available. Previously, the program was available only to federal agencies, but NARFE members can now have access for a small subscription fee.

We are thrilled to be able to offer this outstanding service to you. We think ALL members, both active and retired, can benefit tremendously from Economic Systems’ online retirement calculator and financial planning eSeminars.

eSeminar Plus consists of three retirement planning and financial literacy modules that you can access over the Internet anytime, anywhere:

Federal Retirement Benefits for Employees (FRB – E): An easy-to-use federal retirement calculator that allows employees to estimate their federal retirement annuity, Social Security and Thrift Savings Plan benefits. Additionally, if employees are currently enrolled in the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or CSRS Offset and returning to federal service within one year after separation, employees may make comparisons between their benefits if they remain in the CSRS or CSRS Offset or transfer to Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) retirement coverage.

Financial Benefits Maximizer (FBM): A self-service financial planning tool in which employees or retirees can develop calculations to project their household’s financial future. A complete financial planner, FBM goes beyond federal benefits to include other savings and investments, as well as expenses, to determine your current and future financial status and the extent to which you may meet your retirement income goals.

eSeminar: An employee self-service retirement and financial planning seminar that parallels a “live” seminar. eSeminar enhances your awareness of federal retirement-related topics as well as provide important personal financial management information in a flexible and easily navigated format.

Six-month subscriptions are available only to NARFE members for $29.95. To purchase a subscription, go to www.narfe.org.

Sincerely,

Joseph A. Beaudoin, National President

Joseph A. Beaudoin of Winchester, VA, was elected National President of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association in balloting today at the 31st Biennial NARFE National Convention in Grand Rapids, MI. He is the current National Vice President.

 Paul H. Carew of Pittsboro, NC , was elected National Vice President. Elaine Hughes of Asheville, NC, was elected National Secretary. And Charles W. Saylor of Towson, MD, was elected National Treasurer.

More than 1,100 delegates are attended the August 29-September 2 convention. More details and convention voting results will be posted soon.

From: National President

To:  NEB, Federation Presidents, Chapter Presidents, NARFE Members

At our 2010 National Convention, NARFE delegates approved a dues increase. Here is the new dues structure for NATIONAL DUES:

• One year National Dues - $40.00
• Two years National Dues - $72.00
• Three years National Dues - $102.00

The above is for National Dues only.  Chapters will continue to establish their dues and National will continue to collect those dues and remit them to the chapters.

Those members who are on dues withholding will receive a 15% reduction on National Dues.  Their annual dues will be $34.00 plus chapter dues of record.  Again, Chapters will continue to establish their dues and National will collect them and remit them to the chapters.

Finally, the National Executive Board (NEB) established a new First Year Membership Fee of $45.00.  Under our bylaws, “One-third (1/3) of the Membership Fee … shall be returned to the Chapters in lieu of the first year’s Chapter dues.”

Implementation target date for these increases is 1 January, 2011.
