Lawrence Livermore Retiree Association

October 2024 Report

Submitted by Jeff Garberson, CUCRA Representative


We continue to hold monthly luncheon meetings with a speaker, our principal activity.  Speakers have ranged from the Laboratory’s director, Kim Budil, to an expert on the next major California reservoir, the Sites.  Our membership, around 200 when the pandemic started, has now increased to over 500.  Beyond the resumed luncheon meetings, we publish a short electronic newsletter on topics ranging from community events to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory news to select matters of science and medicine.  We publish a website for the retirees and we sometimes publish updates on UC benefits, policies and news and on the retiree healthcare lawsuit, which was settled several years ago.

 We are not charging dues at this time but may eventually do so if needed to cover webhosting and other operational expenses.  Past experience shows that dues can bring a decline in membership.

 Volunteer programs:  None.  Board members are the only volunteers within LLRA.

Member benefits (parking, discounts, etc.): Access to the luncheons and e-newsletter.

Status of Retirement Center:  We have no Retirement Center.
