This matter was discussed at length at our November membership meeting. It was suggested that, instead of making a contribution for a party, this money be donated to a food bank located in each region. The members present unanimously voted to support this recommendation. President Coyne appointed Sue Estright and Sue Shugart to a committee to coordinate the selection of the food banks and distribution of the donations. The Executive Board commended Ms. Estright and Ms. Shugart for their service on this committee.
People helping people is what unions are all about.
The committee plans to continue their work so we will be able to provide greater assistance to food banks next year.
