BC ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED TELECOMMUNICATION WORKERS
Lots of things are happening. We've signed up about 60 members in the Kamloops area. If anyone knows any Retirees in the Lower-mainland, get them to call Bob Ashton @ (250)573-4115 or e- mail at dragon57@telus.net



 

FYI – I had a call from a Sales Representative at Telus to check on my account and offer me different packages.  In conversation with him, he told me that apparently, the concession is now grandfathered I would lose the concession if I upgraded to a different plan.  Read on for an update from Rick Fleming - This information is for TWU members who retired before summer of 2005. I have learned that these members may be entitled to receive 40% discount on all their Telus services and not just the 50% off of the line charge. In order to find out if you are eligible for this you have to call Telus Benefits at 1-866-899-8999. In order to get this you have to give up your “K” concession so it’s up to each person to check this out, if it works for you go for it.  Please pass this on to all retirees and good luck.

Congratulations to . . . 

On January 19 2012 Josephine Bruno, retiree from TELUS Operator Service in Kamloops was awarded the TELUS Legends Award. She was nominated for the award by the Kamloops TELUS Community Ambassador executive committee. Among the criteria that must be met to receive the award is:

Being consistent and visible in exhibiting TELUS leadership values, demonstrating resilience and unwavering leadership in the face of considerable challenges, inspiring fellow team members, and

Embracing our community investment philosophy-we give where we live-by serving the community. Jo demonstrates this in many ways one of them being the “Pink Ribbon Ball” that is held for the past 14 years. The Ball started out by raising $4000 the first year to $100,000 this year.

A luncheon was given where Jo and her friends/family and some of the TELUS Community Ambassadors attended.

Among the recipients that have received this award in the Kamloops area are Debbie Cockell and Allan Yelland, our congratulations goes out to all.
