Brothers and Sisters,
As we know the COVID-19 pandemic cast a dark shadow over the year 2020, making it quite difficult
for all of us.
I am convinced the challenges arising from the pandemic strengthened our determination to be
united and move forward as a local union.
As we step into the NEW YEAR 2021, we bid adieu to the old year and look
forward with new hopes, prospects, and dreams.
We hope that the coming year will be better than the last.
Keeping that hope, I want to wish you and your family a safe, healthy, and
prosperous new year!
Fraternally,
Alan Marzullo
Business Manager
