Business Manager Comments       

First, I would like to thank everyone that showed up for the Labor Day parade!  It was nice to see so many people come out to walk for labor!  I would also like to thank Mike Ciminillo and Jim Morrison for doing the cooking, the food was delicious!  Lastly Kiel Dennison and Jason Newell for getting everything ready and throwing everything together for this day!  Thanks everyone!

I would like to congratulate Ben Dues and Patrick Boldt for their accomplishments on making it to the National Championships for Service Titan.  This is a national competition that is open for anyone to compete (union and non-union) and prove their abilities in the service industry.  Patrick also competed last year and took home the Gold medal for the apprentice level!  Only the top 10 in their category can move on to the National Competition, so this is quite an accomplishment.  Good job to you guys and good luck!!!

Fraternally,

Brad P. Wendel
