The State Convention our Local hosted last week was a great success. Many thanks to Loren, Gini and Vickie for all they did. The Rogers Local provided snack food at the hospitality room - thanks to Marshia Mosena for her help. We raised $894 in our COPA fundraising campaign. Half the total was sent to the COPA Committee in Washington D.C. and the other half was given as a prize in the COPA drawing. Mike Klippert of El Dorado was the lucky winner. My daughter JJ helped with selling tickets and drew the winner. She intends to join the Auxillary so she can be more a part of our union. If anyone in your family is interested in becoming a member of the Auxillary, contact me or Karen Duncan, State Auxillary President, 410 Mason, Hot Springs, AR 71913, 501-624-7976. We have a Local Photo Album now at http://FyvAPWU.eboard.com and there is a link to it at CONNECTIONS on our webpage. Ten photos from the Convention have been posted there today. Try to attend the union meeting tomorrow. We have a vacancy in the Editor position and nominations will be in order. Ballots will be counted at the July meeting if the race is contested. Hope to see you there - it's YOUR union, help run it. Jake Fayetteville APWU 667 "Illegitimi non Carborundum" http://FayettevilleAPWU.tripod.com
