Welcome to the Educators Retired Club of The Villages website!  

We meet the second Tuesday of every month,  except June, July, & August, 1:30 PM, at the Canal Street Recreation Center.  Our club is social in nature and supportive of local school children.  It is open to anyone living in The Villages who has had a career in education or an education related field.  Meetings are informative and fun including annual "field trips."  Annual dues are $10.00. 

Once you become a member we hope that you will create a Member Profile which other club members can read and enjoy. We encourage you to get involved with the club by volunteering to assist with our programs and activities, which will make your membership and personal connections with other members all the more meaningful. For more information, please contact Toba Knobel or Eileen Connolly, Co-Presidents. You can find our contact information on the OFFICERS page.
