Hello Brothers and Sisters,

Welcome to our new website. Thank you for your patience in getting a new host and building the website. This is definitely a learning process, hopefully the finished product will be easy to use and full of information for our members.

I hope this letter finds you all in good health and spirits. This is our busiest time of the year so please be careful while delivering and be mindful of your surroundings. Look out for your fellow sisters and brothers and reach out with a helping hand.

I want to thank the members for allowing me to serve as your State Treasurer. It has been and will always be a pleasure.

Hello Sisters and Brothers,

The State Convention is fast approaching. I am looking forward to seeing all of the delegates. It is always a good time when we all get together as one.

I know that I say it time and time again, but I will say it again. If you don’t follow politics I understand, but we need to pay attention when it comes to the Postal Service. This is our livelihood that is on the line. Do what you can do to participate. Attend rallies, contact your representative, have family and friends contact representatives. If you do not have the time I get it, then the least that you can do is participate in the Letter Carrier Political Fund. You can do as little as $5.00 a pay period. This fund is our political voice. Your union dues cannot be used for political purposes. Unfortunately, in Washington, DC money talks. The bigger our fund, the louder our voices. Just like the old saying, Knowledge is Power. We need both right now.

Summertime is also heading our way so make sure we are all prepared for that as well.

Stay safe and I will see you at the convention!
