December 2023

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, merry Hanukkah, happy Kwanzaa or what you celebrate at this time.

We sure have a lot to be thankful for, including our Chairman who worked on the new contract. Our President who led us through this strike and all of the workers, both past and present, who helped us through the strike. Many retires who were not even ours walked with us. I walked with a retired teacher. Retired Democrats from outside our county also showed up. Our retires also dropped off supplies such as fire wood, ice, house hold items, canned food, snack packs and paper supplys. I dropped pizzas and cookies off to our folk and a pizza to the blue cross worker who were also on strike. Sorry if I did not list your help, I feel that we were very supported in the community!

I hope you are able to attend the Christmas party. It is an open house for all on December 14th at the hall from 1-5. We will be having food and drink. You and I, we can provide the fun and sing a few songs around the fire! I hope you and yours’s are able to attend.

The Executive Board and I have come up with a new plan for next year. Please keep this schedule for next year. For sometimes it takes a minuet to get use to something new.

Retiree lunches and meetings will be held every OTHER month on the EVEN months of the year (February, April, June, August,
October, December)
