RAP

September 15, 2011

Ladies & Gentlemen of the Community of Retirees:

The new Board of Directors of the DALRC Retiree Assistance Program, Inc. (RAP) is pleased to present its new financial assistance program.  Members of the RAP Board of Directors are Roger Nix – Chair, Judy Aleman – Vice Chair, Jean Smith – Secretary, Lydia Manning, Sandy Phillips, John Ritter, Bill Selby and Judy Tedder.  We have achieved an organizational and resource level allowing us to vigorously promote the availability of assistance grants to qualified retirees, spouses and survivors as well as expand our fund raising efforts.

Many individuals in the “Community of Retirees” are not aware of the existence of RAP or aware of the benefits that can be provided to those who may have fallen on financial hard times due to health related circumstances.  Should you know of someone that is in financial need due to health related issues, please immediately let us know by e-mail at info.rapdalrc@yahoo.com.  The guidelines are quite simple, but specific, as to who qualifies and for how much.  The guidelines and an application for assistance are posted on this website.

As you can imagine, a program such as this requires money.  Many retirees, survivors and active Delta employees generously donate to this fund.  Donations may be tax deductable.  If you are not already contributing to RAP, please do so.  Donations may be made by check or automatically deducted monthly from your retirement or survivor check.  If you would like to donate using a credit card, that may be accomplished on our website.  Information and deduction forms are posted on our website.  

If you have thoughts or suggestions about the RAP program, I would like to hear from you.  Please e-mail rogernixdelta@gmail.com.

Kindest regards,

Roger H. Nix

Chair – Board of Directors
