Brothers and Sisters, 

Thank you to all that helped out at this years retirement party and for Dean Edwards putting together another great dinner for all that attended!  You missed a great party if you were unable to come.  Election season is in full gear and I would like to thank all of the volunteers that have come out to build signs, doorbell, and support candidates at their respective events.  We will be putting out some sign waving dates here soon and would appreciate all of the help we can get.  Budget season is also upon us and the city managers budget includes some enhancements for fire.  We will continue to work with the elected council members to try and shape these funds into the best outcome for our membership.  We will see you at the union meeting on the 20th.

Alex
