We know that educators make things happen. Your patience, love, knowledge, dedication and generous spirit make Texas great!<\/p>\n<p>However, we also know that for all the good we do, the appreciation and salary is not commensurate. We know that the future holds many questions about the pension fund and health insurance for our retirees, as well as concerns about making ends meet.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, that does not hinder what we have and want to give to others. The Texas Retired Teachers Foundation does what its name implies.
