Hey NALC Branch 17 members!

So, how is your summer so far?!?!?

Good? Sucky?? Forced everyday??  Felt like you were on fire at times??

Who's tired?!?!?

It has been a summer for sure. I hope everyone is doing well!  I also hope everyone did find time to enjoy the summer that we are having.  Unfortunately, it is winding down. What started out as a rainy spring and early summer, quickly turned into a dry, hot, sticky July and August so far.  But we carry on!(pun intended!) As carriers we deal with each day and are tougher for it.  Most of us anyway. Sorry I have to throw in disclaimers! Fingers crossed for a nice fall and normal days for all! 

I hope members were able to enjoy the outings that were held this past June and August - the baseball game at PNC Park and the clambake at McDonnel's grove.  Both are always fun get togethers for members!  Due to personal reasons, I could not make either this year.  Be that it may, I hope all attending had an enjoyable time!

Our monthly meetings are starting back up September 2nd.  They will be held at the new location in downtown Scranton, 431 Wyoming Ave aka the IBEW Building.  Parking and entrance is located in the rear of the building which can be accessed from Oakford Ct.  Make a left upon entering and follow the hall to the meeting room.

The retroactive pay is supposed to be in the upcoming pay period check, August 29th.  Fingers crossed!

There is an event happening on Labor Day, September 1st in Philadelphia.  NALC Branch 157 is hosting President Renfroe along with NALC Region 12, at the Philadelphia AFL-CIO 38th Annual Labor Day Parade and Family Festival.  All members are invited to come and show their union pride and celebrate union spirit!  The gathering starts at 9AM.  This sounds like a fun and informative event with food, rides, and games.  A community expo will also take place. There is more info under the Upcoming Events tab of this website for all who would like to attend!  Plus, you can also grab a cheesesteak while in the neighborhood!

P.S.  My dogs always try to help me while updating the site, sorry for any typos or mistakes I might have missed!lol
