Teachers get together for breakfast

Calling all retired Huntley-area teachers, current or past school personnel and spouses. It's time again for the Huntley Area Retired Teachers' Breakfast at 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 14, at Bill's Village Inn, 11713 E. Main St. in Huntley.

The annual event is being hosted again this year by Huntley High School retirees Mary Ellen Moerke and Lori Lid, as a chance for former school employees to catch up with old friends and to make new ones.

"It's just a local thing, not a part of any organized group (like the McHenry County Retired Teachers Association)," Moerke says. "Everyone is invited, and we just meet and eat. We order from the menu and pay for our own food."

The event is open to any current or former school employees who live in Huntley or have worked in area schools. Spouses are welcome, too, Moerke says. "Some are retired teachers who now live in Huntley, but have worked in other schools. It's very informal, and everybody is welcome."

For information, call Moerke at (847) 669-5239.
