The Attala County Unit of Retired Education Personnel of Mississippi (REPM) held the first meeting for the 2015-2016 school year at the Oprah Winfrey Boys & Girls Club.
The program for the month was presented by Dr. Phil Sutphin from Decatur. He is the new state Director for District III. He gave updates on the state of PERS and also addressed questions and concerns from those in attendance. He also gave information about the upcoming State meeting for District III that was held in Philadelphia.
