A message from The President:
Presidents Corner
August 2008 Presidents Corner
Is it August already? I cannot believe that summer is almost over. We are on the last 40 days or so at this point. I want to remind everyone that we are holding a Special Election in the Union Office on August 12 2008 at 1630. We have an empty 1st Vice President position and we are looking to fill it. If you want to run for the position, you need to get your name on the list. Voting will take place after the member meeting on this day. Please attend this important meeting. Well, even though summer is nearing the end, the temperatures are still up, and I want to remind everyone that we have free snacks and soft drinks in the office for your enjoyment. We are also displaying High Definition Cable Television for your viewing pleasure as well. We have set the date for the Christmas Party for December 9th 2008. We will be holding our Bi Annual elections on this date after the member meeting as well. This is an important time for everyone, and we do not want you to miss it. The Christmas Party will be in conjunction with the member meeting, so make sure to bring your appetite with you when you come to the meeting/elections. There will be plenty of food and beverages as always.

July 2008 Presidents Corner
July is flying by at an amazing rate of speed. It is unbelievable that we are already into the second week already. We are having a SPECIAL ELECTION at the 12 August Members meeting. We will be electing a 1st Vise President. Please come by to participate in the Special Election. There will be the normal member meeting taking place at 1630 (430pm) in the union office. Afterwards we will hold the special election. I want everyone to take note: we may be relocated at the next member meeting. We are moving into base housing on Charleston AFB over on White Circle. This move is anticipated to take place very soon. I have looked at this house on July 8th and I feel that it will serve Local 1869 in a generous capacity. I am asking for volunteers to help us move when the time arrives. We will be renting a large U-haul or similar truck and be moving the office on a Saturday. More to come on this. After the move we will be having an “OPEN HOUSE” and there will plenty of eats and drinks to satisfy the best. Any help will be greatly appreciated and if you want to volunteer your time to help move the office, please call us at 843-552-8249 or 843-963-5765 and ask to have your name added to the list to help move the union office. We will be taking your name and telephone number and contacting you with a date. This is strictly voluntary in every way.
