WELCOME Dauphin County Chapter

Our membership is made up of retirees from the following school districts:  CAIU, Central Dauphin, Dauphin County Technical School, Derry Township, Halifax, Harrisburg City, Lower Dauphin, Middletown, Millersburg, Steelton Highspire, Susquehanna Township, and Upper Dauphin.

We are former teachers, administrators, counselors, nurses, aides, secretaries, 

bus drivers, cafeteria workers and maintenance staff.

We support PASR's mission to serve others, support public education, and help 

one another enjoy retirement.

We are looking within our own membership for individuals who have a 

special talent --musical/artist or a hobby/special interest they might be willing to share 

as a brief program at our Spring and Fall Meetings.  

At our 2023 Fall meeting our own Mary Lou Evans (Derry Township) entertained us with the story of how she became interested in Department 56 collectables, how she acquired some of the now retired pieces, and the broad history of the development of these seasonal collectibles.  

She brought examples of several of the collections she maintains, a photo album of her pieces and some of the unique ways in which she displays them, both in her own home and at the Ronald McDonald house in Hershey.  

This has been her passion since she retired.
