Union Samaritans to be Honored
Every year at the October Membership Meeting, Local
848 honors members who have made significant contributions to our communities
by nominating them for Union Samaritan awards. Many 848 members work in
charitable organizations without asking for praise or thanks. The local would
like them to come forward in October in order to win prize money for the
charity or organization that they have chosen.
The first prize is $250; second is $150; and third is
$100.
In the past, the local has awarded money to those who
help those who need it such as orphans, disabled people, and battered
women. Nominations will be due at the
October meeting and the vote will take place at the November meeting. The
members decide which charities win prizes, but all members and our communities
benefit from the fine work that our Union Samaritans perform.
