RETIREES CLUB OF L.U. 1, ST. LOUIS, MO—Our Retirees Club went to a Cardinals baseball game in May. We had eight busloads of members and their spouses or a friend. Our retirees meetings have been well attended, but of course we would like to have more members participate. We thank officers and members who prepare the lunch at our meetings. Retirees have concerns regarding retirement benefit, social security and medical care, but we are very fortunate to be IBEW members. Rich King, P.S. RETIREES CLUB OF L.U. 3, NEW YORK, NY, WESTCHESTER PUTNAM CHAPTER—Our May 11 golf outing at the Beekman Country Club was a huge success. Another well-planned activity by Chmn. Jim O’Donnell. The June 8 fishing trip out of Glen Island was a beautiful day, with great camaraderie. We thank Chmn. Richard Mills. To show our support for the troops in Iraq, a collection was taken at our May meeting for telephone cards to send overseas. Condolences to the family of Trustee Jim Tobias, who passed away in June. His dedication and kindness will be missed. With the approval of the Board of Directors, Jim’s position was filled by Bill Robinson. The Board of Directors also voted for William Arnold to fill the position of trustee, vacated by Anthony Roucco, who retired to Florida. Our bi-annual retirees luncheon was Oct. 21 at Sheraton Hotel, NYC. Prizes were awarded at our first fall meeting, Tues., Sept. 15. Fall activities are being planned. Vincent Panzarino, P.S.

We meet the first Tuesday of each month, except in July and August, at 1:30 p.m. at IBEW Local 90 offices—2 North Plains Industrial Rd., Wallingford, CT.
