      Wow 2011 is almost over. This year went by so quickly and all our special events have kept us busy all year round. I’d like to thank the committee for all their hard work. Everything we were involved in this year has been quite the learning experience for me. The most positive thing I have learned this year is that so many of our UAW Brother and Sisters have such a BIG heart! For our women’s shelter, we had bins and bins overflowing with donations to fill our Boutique.

     The special lunch we had for our laid off members was a success. We had many, many volunteers to help with the event. Along with tons of awesome food, you gave large donations that gave every member the opportunity to receive two gift cards each.

     One last event I am proud, and excited about is the Secret Santa Stockings. WOW, the generous people who already donated. We have received gifts, gift cards, and money. They are continuing to flow in daily. I just can’t THANK YOU enough for making all these events that are so dear to our hearts so successful and enjoyable. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

    Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!

In Solidarity,

Karen Becker, UAW Women’s Committee Chairperson
