Coop Headliners

Southwest Cooperative will once again be participating in the Carson Pirie Scott Community Day Fundraiser. Coop Employees can sell $5.00 coupon booklets to earn funds that go right back to our programs.  The booklets contain 8 coupons for 20% off as well as a $10 coupon. Last year we raised over $2,400 for our programs.  Last year's big earner was the Transition Program who brought in $750.00!  Booklets are available now through  the day of the sale which is Saturday, November 10, 2007.  If you are interested in participating, contact your program supervisor or Erin Hackett at ehackett@swcccase.org .

IMRF Members - Did you know you can access your personal  IMRF information, your years of service credit, how much you have contributed, even calculate what your pension will be? You can change your name, address, and beneficiary information!  In order to do this, set up an account on the IMRF website at www.imrf.org . If you are nearing retirement, IMRF conducts pre-retirement workshops year-round across the state of Illinois.  In addition, they will provide you with a personal pre-retirement review upon request. Information regarding retirement can be found on the IMRF website at www.imrf.org . All IMRF members should keep on top of legislation that can affect YOUR pension.  Information on current legislation that can affect how long it takes to get vested, or on the funding of IMRF pensions can be located on (you guessed it!) www.imrf.org . Can you tell that this is a very useful website for all support staff who belong to IMRF? Make it one of your favorites today!
