AFSCME LOCAL #531 HOLDS 1ST ANNUAL LABOR PICNIC IN FRANKFORT, INDIANA
THIS PAST JULY 25TH AFSCME LOCAL #531 FROM WESLEY MANOR HELD THEIR FIRST LABOR PICNIC WITH A LARGE GROUP OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS SHOWING UP. BACK IN MAY OF THIS YEAR PRESIDENT PASTY BEST AND SECRETARY MARI HOWE APPROCHED STAFF REPRESENTATIVE RICHIE HALFACRE WITH THE IDEA OF HOLDING A ANNUAL LABOR PICNIC SO THAT THE LOCAL COULD GIVE BACK TO THE MEMBERSHIP SINCE IT IS THE MEMBERSHIP THAT MAKES THE UNION SO STRONG! “I THOUGHT THE LOCAL LEADERSHIP HAD A GREAT IDEAL AND THEY WERE WILLING TO WORK WITH ME TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN” SAID STAFF REPRESENTATIVE RICHIE HALFACRE. I TALKED TO EX. DIRECTOR DAVE WARRICK ABOUT COUNCIL #62 HELPING WITH THE FUNDING OF THE PICNIC AND HE WAS ALL FOR IT. DIRECTOR WARRICK SAID, “I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP LOCAL #531 START A ANNUAL PICNIC BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT, GIVING BACK TO THE MEMBERSHIP.” THE LEADERSHIP OF LOCAL #531 WORKED REALLY HARD TO GET DOOR PRIZES DONATED FROM LOCAL BUSINESS AND THE HARD WORK PAID OFF WITH OVER 20 DOOR PRIZES GIVEN AWAY AT THE PICNIC. WE HAD MUSIC, PIZZA, CHIPS, DESSERTS AND POP DURING THE PICNIC AND EVERYONE RECEIVED AN AFSCME T SHIRT. OTHER STAFF REPRESENTATIVES WERE BROUGHT IN TO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT MEMBERS MAY HAVE ABOUT THE LABOR MOVEMENT. JULY 25TH TURNED OUT TO BE A NICE SUNNY, COOL DAY AND IT REALLY HELPED TO BRING THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM LOCAL #531 OUT FOR A FUN FEELED DAY. THE MEMBERS OF LOCAL #531 ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEARS PICNIC.
