By Chris Allen
Broward Chapter 1698 of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees has elected new officers for 1994.
Harold Offenther of Plantation will serve as president of the organization. The other officers include Irving Schneider, Tamarac, first vice president; Stanley Selig, Sunrise, second vice president; Beatrice Kligman, Tamarac, treasurer; Louis Forman, Tamarac, recording secretary; Mildred Rothenberg, Sunrise, financial secretary; Isidore Epstein, Tamarac, service officer.
Members of the executive board for the new term include: Annette and Carl Moffitt, Esther Siegel, Len Marcus, Rose Braunse, Paul Schilling, and Mildred Ponier.
"The organization has about 380 members and meets monthly in the Nob Hill Center in Sunrise," Schneider said.
"We're concerned about the benefits and health benefits and annuities of all retired federal employees and we are constantly on the alert for any attempt to cut our earned benefits. We stay in close touch with the national chapter. They keep us informed of legislation before Congress.
"We're retired from a regular job, but we're working harder than ever - without getting paid."
The chapter sponsors a monthly service clinic in Tamarac City Hall to provide assistance and answer questions for anyone receiving a federal pension.
