EIU Annuitants Association 42nd Annual Luncheon

On Friday, April 5, we celebrated the EIU Annuitants Association 42nd Anniversary with a luncheon in St. John Borromeo Catholic Church in Charleston. We enjoyed a magnificent performance by Dr. Marilyn Coles (Vocal) and Paul Johnson (Piano).

This has always been a special occasion where we meet our colleagues and their families in a celebratory atmosphere. Among our guests were:

• President Bill Perry and Linda Perry
• Vice President of University Advancement Bob Martin
• Donna Martin, Executive Officer of the EIU Foundation
• Leslie McDaniel
• Bonita Flynn of Panther Print and Copy Center
• State Senator Dale A. Righter
• Representative Brad E. Halbrook

Julie Sterling, the EIU Annuitants Association President welcomed the group. We awarded the EIU Annuitants Association Scholarship to Lena Elmuti, and Richard Barta was recognized as the EIUAA Annuitant Ambassador of the year by Leslie McDaniel.
