Greetings Sisters and Brothers,                                                                            September 2026

I hope everyone had a great, fun summer!

The next meeting of the Electrical Welfare Club will take place on Tuesday, September 15th, 2026, in the Balcony Lounge of the JIB at 6:00 PM. Dinner will be served at 5:00. Club coordinator Dave Hochman will be providing details and new developments within our industry. Questions will be welcomed.

Our annual weekend at Santorini (LIEC) in June was an incredible time that we shared with the Veteran’s Club. From my personal experience, it was one of the best weekends I have ever had out there. I hope everyone that came out enjoyed themselves. And next summer I hope more people sign up to come. It is a great time for all us members and our families.

I want to thank everyone that came to our club fishing trip, in August. It was a beautiful day to spend on the water with our friends and families. There were many fish caught, but only our Vice President, Joe Jaffe got the only keeper and won the pool.

This September 11^th marks the 25^th anniversary of the horrible attacks on the WTC. Please keep the memories of the people who passed in your heart.

Union dues for A Construction are $319. Make sure you have a new card by October 1^st.
