IRON MOUNTAIN — The Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel will host a Summer Social starting at 1 p.m. Thursday in the pavilion at Cowboy Lake in Kingsford.

Any retiree who is a part of the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System, or MPSERS, or who is the spouse of one is eligible to attend. This gathering is for both members and prospective members of the organization.

To insure safety, they ask that anyone who attends the event bring his or her own picnic lunch.

Coffee, lemonade and cookies will be provided on site.

After this past winter, the group is looking forward to gathering in the fresh air for a type of “reunion” with chapter members and to greet prospective MARSP members.
