A Message from Business Manager Roy B. Grosswiler

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

The regular membership meeting scheduled for April 19, 2021 has been cancelled

The Eboard continues to act on all regular business during this Covid pandemic. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the hall or an eboard member.

The inside negotiating committee has met twice now with NECA (contractors association) and we have scheduled meetings for April 20 and April 27th. We are hopeful that we can reach an agreement to bring to the membership. We will get the word out on details and possibly a ratification meeting when available.

Stay healthy and safe.

Thanks Roy B. Grosswiler
