You must enter through the main entrance of the Electric Industry Center at 158-11 Harry Van

I want to wish everyone a very Happy & Healthy New Year. L’Shanah Tovah

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 13^th.  It was a great day on the water with some ‘keepers’.  I want to thank Bro. Eric Farbman for all his help with that event.  It was also great to see many of you at the Labor Day Parade and thanks to all that helped there as well.

September 11^th was the 22^nd 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 over 20 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.

Union Dues are due. ‘A’ Construction Dues are $295. Club Dues are also due. As you know we need your Dues to support all the EWC yearly activities. Regular member Dues are $40. Cemetery Members are $18 per person in a separate check made out to EWC Cemetery Fund.

If you have made any changes to your home address, home phone number, cell phone number and or your email address please let us know.  It is so important to let us know of these changes. You can contact Corresponding Secretary Michelle Sirotic at mlsirotic1019@gmail.com or mail her your changes.

Please Support our Club Raffle Tickets. It’s a $10 ticket and you have 30 chances to win $100.

I look forward to seeing everyone at our next meeting, Tuesday September 19^th.

Stay active; support our club and its great parent organization Local Union No.3 IBEW
