Fort Bend-Harris Retired Educators (FBHRE) strives to promote the objectives of TRTA in order to preserve and maintain our pension and health care funds.  We aim to provide and maintain a functional and united organization for all retired school employees or beneficiaries who are annuitants or eligible to receive benefits from a teacher retirement fund.  We welcome associate members who are not retired school employees but are interested in education and will promote the goals of FBHRE and TRTA.  

FBHRE members actively participate in the Children's Book Project by selecting a school, collecting new or gently used books, and giving each child in that school a book of his or her own.  Members also participate in the Walks-a-Million program to stay active and healthy, volunteer many hours in service to their community, and donate flour, corn meal, and money to the Food Pantry.  We believe in fun and fellowship.  Three times a year, we include luncheons:  first day of school, Christmas, and end of school. We also enjoy field trips.  One of our favorites was a trip to the Skeeter's baseball game.  For further information, please see the calendar below and  click on E-News at the top of this page to  read our monthly e-Newsletter.  To join our organization, contact any of our officers listed in the sidebar on this page.
