Business Manager Comments       

I would like to wish all our members a happy Fourth of July!  Take this opportunity to spend some extra time with your family and celebrate our freedom.  Also, please be safe out there!

July 1^st is the start of the new pay scale for Building Trades members.  We will have new pay sheets and business card sized wage cards for anyone that would like one.  All you need to do is stop by the hall after the 1^st and pick one up.

Fraternally,

Brad P. Wendel

Business Manager/ Financial Secretary – Treasurer
