UAW LOCAL 1050 VETERANS
COMMITTEE REPORT July, 2011
UAW LOCAL 1050 Veterans Committee consists of 17 members and
numerous volunteers. Our committee serves our local's members and
veterans where ever they may be.
As a committee, we have partnered with our company’s community
action grant to fund and support Christmas In July at Wade Park VA
Hospital to serve over 700 meals this past July. Marking our 14th
year providing meals and toiletries for the Veterans.
We have also partnered with Northeast Ohio Girl Scout Council of
Lorain County to sell over $2,300 worth of cookies
at our plant which were packaged and mailed overseas to troops
serving there. This is our 3rd year with the Girl Scouts Cookies for
Troops program.
We collect old Flags at our gates during the month of May for proper
disposal on Flag Day in June, this has become real popular with our
members who bring their old flags to us year around. We have had
great support with the proper disposal of the flags on Flag Day.
We also have a color guard detail that performs flag ceremonies at
our hall and company flag poles for Veterans Day, Workers Memorial
Day, Memorial Day and of course Flag Day. These ceremonies are very
well received and attended by our members.
Our committee would like to INVITE
the Region 2B Veterans Council and any members of the region to join
us for any of our events. Most of these events can be found on our
Local's web site.
Best regards,
UAW LOCAL 1050 Veterans
