RETIREES CLUB OF L.U.
103, BOSTON, MAThe Retirees Club held its first luncheon
of 2004 with a New England boiled dinner of corned beef and cabbage
on March18.
Our club is pleased to have 50 new members. Events planned for
this year include a golf league at local courses utilizing tee times
on normal working days when weekend golfers are working to keep
up with course fees.
Retirees Club officers are working with Local 103 Bus. Mgr. Michael
Monahan in an effort to Get the Retiree Vote Out in this important
election year. Statistics show that 20 percent of the people who
voted in the last presidential election were senior citizens. Our
hope is to get all our retirees to support our Massachusetts man,
John Kerry.
Retirees interested in volunteering at the Democratic National
Convention, to be held here in Boston, are encouraged to notify
the local union. We know from past experience Local 103 always rises
to the occasion.
Congratulations and a tip of the hat to retiring Bus. Agent Joe
Sheehan. Joe has served in several offices over the course of his
42-year membership.
