 Business Manager Comments 

I would like to formally thank everyone that came out and walked with us supporting Labor in the Lima Labor Day parade! It was a great opportunity to show the public how unions can come together and support each other. Also, I would like to thank the following people for their hard work to prepare to that day:  Melissa Selby, Kiel Dennison, Jason Newell and Matt Cunningham. Thanks again and I hope to see anyone that couldn’t make it at next year’s event!

Fraternally,

Brad P. Wendel
