Basket Raffle
From the Community Service Committee

Hello out there!  We drew for the two baskets Thursday at our November meeting and our lucky winners were Stan McMillan for the Men's Basket and our own Martha Epperson for the Women's Basket!  Congratulations to our lucky winners and we hope  they enjoy their goodies.   I was told that we totaled out about $480 for our garage sales, both in Oct. and the first weekend of this month.  Not bad!  You know what they say...One man's trash-
As for how much we made on our raffle baskets, we just turned in all the money and we have to let our "accountant" (aka Martha) have time to add it up.  I'll post the results for you when we get them.  We are hoping to have enough for 2 families, but not having done as much as in the last couple of years, we'll just have to wait and see.  Don't sell us short tho.  We've done more in a lot less time!
Again, Congrats to our lucky winners, keep an eye on this site for $ totals, and stay healthy & safe.
Your Community Services Committee        

Cheryl Dixon  Chairman


November 16th

Well, folks, here's the latest on the Community Services Committee yard sale and raffle.  Our yard sale netted us a total of $460 while our raffle brought in $336.  We also had personal donations and took in our aluminum cans for a total of $61.

Our current total in the Community Fund is - May I have a drum roll, please! - $1324.63!!!  Not bad for a year in which we really haven't done much to earn a lot. 
 
We would like to thank all of you that supported us by donating items for our yard sales or raffle baskets, contributed to or bought tickets for our raffles, or donated money or time.
 
Finally, we want to remind you to put your canned goods in the container of your choice in the cafeteria at Trane.  This is NOT a Trane project!  This is a combined effort and can not be achieved without everyone's cooperation.  This is your Community Services Committee - we are supposed to help our community.  By feeding people at the Rescue Mission, you will help us help a good many people have full stomachs at least for Thanksgiving.  If you really want to help, contact the mission and see what you can do to help dish out food or wash a pot or pan.  Extra hands are always appreciated, I'm sure!
 
Thank each and every one of you.
Cheryl Dixon and your Community Services Committee

V-CAP

Voluntary-Community Action Program

What is V-CAP?  It is a UAW voluntary program that allows each union member to make a modest contribution each month to help the union support candidates (national, state, and local) who care about American workers and their jobs. 

Why is this important?  The goal of the UAW V-CAP is to protect our collective bargaining gains through political action.
