Brothers and Sisters,
Today I am grateful to all of you for staying active with our Union and for trusting me to work on your behalf every day. We all have a lot to be grateful for, but I am most grateful for you – our members. Your hard work and dedication to the trade makes our Union strong.
We have had a great year together and I am proud of our continued success and the respect that you all have earned with your skills and expertise. We had a very successful golf outing this year, resulting in $110,000 raised for veterans charities around the region. On top of that, our Union proudly contributed $10,000 to the Helmets to Hardhats program, which also supports veterans pursuing careers following their military service.
As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends and families, I would like to share my profound gratitude for your commitment to each other and our Union.
Wishing you and your loved ones a warm and safe Thanksgiving!
In solidarity,
Michael J. Bowes
