April 2026

 Greetings Sisters & Brothers,

I hope all our members and their families had a happy Passover.

The next meeting of the Electrical Welfare Club will take place April 21st, 2026, in the Balcony Lounge of the JIB at 5:00 pm. There will be food and beverages served. Our club coordinator Dave Hochman will be providing details and new developments within our industry.

On March 24th the Welfare Club celebrated its Pre Passover Seder at the Plainview Jewish Center. We had a great turnout this year and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I want to thank Brother James Goldstein for doing a great job organizing this wonderful event. Thank you to Brother Sam Jitzchaki for once again being our Seder leader. I would like to thank Sister Susan Roth for reciting the prayers to light the candles, and Maxwell Farbman for reading the four questions. Great job Maxwell!

Local Union #3 Election of Officers takes place May 16th at the Jacob Javits Center, from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm. It is very important that we all come out and vote. The city Politicians are always counting heads, so please come down and make it count.
