Updated Information
Kit and Lisa have been working diligently over the past couple of weeks to get the books from last year closed out and restarted for this year.
Part of this process has included updating the Local/Unit Officers board so I figured I'd take the time to get the web site updated. A few seats have changed since the last election!
Local President - Bruce Rees (Howden Buffalo)
Vice-President - Dusty Kinsey (Marlite)
Recording Secretary - Constance Edwards (Zimmer)
Financial Secretary - Kit Walker (Lauren)
Treasurer - Lisa Hadley (Zimmer)
Guide - Crystal Carter (Zimmer)
Guards - Quinn Connor (Greer Steel) & Lloyd Carr (Howden Buffalo)
Trustees - Dennis Jones (Marlite), Joel Watson (Howden Buffalo) & Susan Kirtley (Lauren)
Thanks to all of our officers for stepping up to take care of our Union!
ACTION CALL: Make the Call for REAL REFORM Today!
Now that healthcare reform is finally moving forward in Congress, it is imperative that all of us take the time to make a few phone calls to ensure that the final legislation works for us!

Action Instructions:
1 - Dial Toll-Free, 866-203-4960

Support Healthcare Reform that:
