THE MARCH IS ON!<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. The 64th<\/sup> Annual TRTA Convention<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \n
          1. TRTA Day at the Capitol on March 29<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            TRTA is marching on the Texas Capitol grounds on Wednesday, March 29, with thousands of retirees ready to rally to Keep TRS-Care Affordable!
