Presidents Report:
The Executive Board and I want to thank all those Veterans for their service.
The Mid Term Elections are over and it looks like the country is ready for changes. I want to thank all those that voted. Now it is time to hold all those that were elected to act on all those promises they made to get elected.
At DL 142 they will be holding Officer Elections on December 11, from 6 am to 6 pm at same place we hold monthly meetings. All former DL 143, retired Members can vote in this election. If you live more than 25 miles from our polling place or on vacation,or unable to vote in person due to illness you may request an absentee ballot through the DL 142, web site. We do have two of our own LL 2319 members on the ballot. VP Aponte and GC Champagne.
Hopefully DL 141, will be back in negotiations for our members at UAL.
We will still be selling raffle tickets for our quarterly raffle that will be held at our December Union Meeting.
Until next month,
STAY STRONG, STAY SAFE, STAY UNION
