A BRIEF HISTORY OF RESCO

  • May 21, 1969 - RESCO began as the Stanislaus County Retired Employees Association (SCREA). They were affiliated with SCEA (Stanislaus County Employees Association) and relied upon them for clerical help and meeting space.
  • July 1986 - SCREA became RESCO, and an independent organization.
  • RESCO was closely associated with the Stanislaus County Employees Federal Credit Union (SCEFCU), as one of our founders, Wes Hall, was also on their board. He worked out a contract with them to provide clerical staff and meeting space. Then, as now, the Credit Union served many county retirees. In 1999 the SCEFCU became Valley First Credit Union (VFCU).
  • July 2011 - RESCO became a 501(c)(7) Non-profit Mutual Benefit Corporation (RESCO, INC.) and changed our name to Retired Employees of Stanislaus Organization, Inc. to reflect all of the agencies whose retirees we represent.
  • 2010 (approx.) Prior to this date, retiree health insurance needs were met by either Stanislaus County or StanCERA. Around that time, StanCERA decided to no longer provide insurance for retirees as part of their services, so RESCO took on that task.  
  • 2014 - RESCO contracted with Pacific Group Agencies to provide Medical, Dental, Vision and other plans to our Medicare Eligible members.
  • Stanislaus County continues to provide insurance coverage to “early retirees”.
  • 2020 - Late in the year RESCO contracted with Organized Labor Credit Union for our Administrative duties and meeting space.
  • 2022 - The new RESCO website was launched (WILD APRICOT)! This new site will be interactive and will allow members even more information!
