I hope you had a great summer filled with many wonderful memories.  I want to thank everyone that attended our Annual Fishing Trip on August 14^th.  It was a great day on the water with some ‘keepers’.
I want to thank Bro. Dave Hochman and Bro. Eric Farbman for all their help with that event.  It was also great to see many of you at the Labor Day Parade.

September 11^th was the 21^st Anniversary of the horrific events of 9-11-2001, may we will always remember our 17 Brothers from Local Union No. 3 IBEW as well as our 4 Brothers from Local 1212 IBEW that were murdered that day as well as the nearly 3,000 other people who went to work that day expecting to go home to their families and friends that never did. May we also remember the 21 members of Local Union No. 3 IBEW who passed away since that horrible day due to related illnesses and all that are still suffering.  Please keep them and their families in your thoughts and prayers as well.
