RATIFIED!

Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

I am pleased to inform you that the District Council 16 By-laws have been ratified. A member called and asked me, “what does that mean”? I responded, “Now that the DC16 Bylaws have been ratified, we can set up a Local 767 Bylaws Committee and start the Local Bylaws”. At our Local 767’s next meeting we will have President McNeill ask for volunteers and appoint a committee.  I will recommend the members to read and highlight things that they may have questions or would like to change. I will also encourage to read a section of the Bylaws in our regular meetings. If you would like to meet with me personally give me a call to set something up. The key to these Bylaw is to make sure that the changes help our members. This will set up the rules and structure for the next 5 years.

On another note: on February 11,2025 we had our Retiree’s Luncheon and I would like to invite anyone to come to the luncheons next quarter to hang out and share their stories.  At the monthly meeting we had retiree and Apprenticeship Instructor Stephen Gutierrez speak. Stephen talked about the history of Glazing in Sacramento and made some of the older guys laughed. At times, years just fly by and we forget the “good old days when life seemed to be easier”. I really hope to try to get one retired Glazier at every meeting moving forward! Again, please call me if you need anything and call me if you see anybody doing Glazing work that are not Glaziers. Be safe and I hope to see you all on jobsites or at the Regular Union Meetings

Safe Travels
