RETIREES CLUB OF L.U. 824, TAMPA, FLWe are proud to announce the formation of the IBEW Local 824 Retirees Club. The Club has been a long time in coming, and thanks to a lot of hard work and perseverance the retirees have accomplished a great goal. After receiving a Charter from the IBEW International Office, the IBEW Local 824 Retired Members Club was officially established on Aug. 24, 2001, and the first meeting was held on April 26, 2002, at the union hall. The second meeting was held May 22, 2002, with the club enrolling approximately 60 new members. A great success! Our officers are as follows: Pres. Larry Burns, Vice Pres. Robert Benton, Treas. Pat Van Lengen and Rec. Sec. Betty Watson. The clubs mission is to unite and organize retirees to capitalize on the tremendous political influence that this coalition of senior citizens could have, and to address issues that primarily affect retirees. We will continue publishing articles for the IBEW Journal to let you know how we are doing and what we are working on. Our next meeting will be held at the union hall on November 13, and we hope to see you there. Larry Burns, Pres. Service Awards
