She dealt extensively on the Benefit Plans that are so important to many of our members with explanations regarding the recently introduced use of the card for submitting prescription costs, what happens regarding benefit payments if a superannuate returns to teaching, as well as the travel insurance that is included in our Benefit Plan.  She also shared information regarding the STS publication "Outreach", our pension plans, the duties of the provincial executive members and then left time for questions.  Bob Donnan then presented Margaret with a gift of honey in appreciation of her visit to the Tisdale Chapter.
