In January, spearheaded by President Fusco an amazing group of members performed the outstanding: a complete spring cleaning and rearranging of the Local’s office. Thank you to everyone who helped. The office looks fantastic!

The blinds were cleaned, surfaces scrubbed and the carpet given detailed treatment (special thanks to Jose Ponce). All of this was followed by some considerable furniture rearranging. The Job Roster Board (the office’s courtesy version of the work availability list) is now placed in the entry of the main room of the office. The Business Agent has moved into the inner office and what was once the Business Agent desk (far back of the main room) has been revamped and the whole corner area has been turned into an education center. Our lending library is there as well as a working computer available for the memberships use.

Stay tuned for further developments in this area.

The Local would like to give special thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this transformation possible: Jim Barnes, Phil Perry, Scott Stewart, Kathleen Blake, Ed Fonseca, Robert Horek, Larry Jeane, Steven Mallory, Bill McGlone, Mehmet Oz, Jose Ponce, Mary Still, Harry Wing, Lena Young.

A particular note of thanks goes to Sister McKinney who made sure all of contracts and forms were stocked and available for the membership at our last General Meeting
