The Women’s Committee would like to say thank you to everyone for making our summer time raffle a huge success and to say that we couldn’t have done it without all your help! The continuous support from all of the department stewards and fellow Union brothers and sisters helped make the raffle possible and for that we are extremely grateful. Due to all of your support we were able to raise $1,000 for two local community food banks. $500 went to the Walton food bank, and the other $500 went to the Unadilla food bank. Both organizations were very appreciative for our efforts to help feed those in need during these very difficult economic times. The winners of the raffle were: 

1st Place (Gas Grill) – Shawn Patrick

2nd Place (Picnic Basket) – Pat George

3rd Place ($25 gift card for Great American Grocery

Store) – Bob Wells

The Women’s Committee’s next fund raiser will be a spaghetti dinner to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. More details will be posted on the bulletin boards. The Committee would also like to welcome Kathy Neil and Gwen Grow as the newest members of the Women’s Committee. If anyone else is interested in joining please contact President Bruce Hodges, Vice President Chris Byrnes, any chief steward or a Women’s Committee Member.
