Ted Rossi, International Rep. will teach the Union Stewards Class on February 13th at the Denver Union Hall starting at 8:00am.  Mike Smith has the sign in sheet; call him to sign up.  This is a good class for all members; not just Stewards; we all need to know more about how unions function.  303-623-3194 ex 17

If you are a veteran call Dan Shake (719- 543-3369) and let him know.  Dan is gathering names to show the VA how many Veterans Local 9 has; hopefully this will influence the VA into building the new VA Hospital under a Project Labor Agreement.
