Historic week

I now have an email address that is finally functional at the local after a couple of attempts. My new email is president@local245.com and runs in conjunction with our new website. All feed back I have received about our website has been very positive! Thank you to Ed Huddleston who continues to work and maintain our site on his own time. We have much more to get on the site and will continue adding material to the site to make it as informative as it can be!
The first Holiday of the New Year, Monday, gives us a chance to remember an American Legend Martin Luther King Jr. Please take a moment on your negotiated day off to remember the remarkable achievements that Dr. King contributed to history. We are a better society today due to his tireless efforts in Civil Rights.
As Inauguration Day approaches on Tuesday, All Americans have the hope of a new administration as President elect Barack Obama gets sworn into office. So many of our members worked extremely hard to get Senator Obama to this point and we continue to have high expectations for him to support labor and get our country back on track! My continued thanks to each of you that worked to get Obama elected! Enjoy Tuesday it is the change and hope we worked for!
