Brothers and Sisters:

I hope that you all had a safe Labor Day holiday. In my local county newspaper, there was a political cartoon that said, "If on this Labor Day you’re lucky enough to still have a job with decent pay, retirement and health benefits, sick leave and vacation time, you can thank a union member."  I could not say it any better!     

Local 355's 21st Annual Motorcycle Run will be on September 7, 2019; you must register with the hall.

On Sept 8, the regular General Membership Meetings start. 

The Fall Golf Outing is Sept 21st at Compass Pointe; call the hall for more information. 

Fall begins on Sept 23rd. 

In October we have the 14th, Columbus Day and the 31st, Halloween.

The Summer Party was great as always. A very special thanks to all of the volunteers.
