HOUGHTON — State Employee Retirees Association members from the Upper Peninsula plan a noon Eastern time luncheon Monday, July 15, at Kestner Park in Houghton.

The group of State of Michigan retirees will share Roy’s Pasties and sandwiches for lunch before a business session.

The meeting will feature a presentation of retiree health insurance by Arva Overton of Michigan Blue Cross and other benefit information. Senator Ed McBroom has also been invited to attend to give a legislative wrap up.

Reservations for the meeting are necessary and can be called in to Edgar Sommers II at 906-250-5560 or emailed to: edgarl1966@yahoo no later than Sunday, July 7.

SERA is an organization of State of Michigan Retirees which represents some 3,000 retirees in the Upper Peninsula. The Copper Country meeting is held each summer because of the number of members in the area.

Other meetings are held in the Marquette and Escanaba areas. The Marquette area meeting was in May and the Escanaba area meeting will be the Monday after Labor Day at the Highland Golf Club in Bark River.
