A Great Day for a Tournament

The Local 601 RENEW committee’s bags tournament in action!

L.U. 601 (i&rtb), CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, IL — Our local’s RENEW committee has another successful bags tournament under its belt. This, our fifth tournament, was a very special one for us. We are proud to have come this far as a RENEW committee and hope to do more events to bring our local together.

It was a close final between the last two teams, but an apprentice team won first place this year. The finals were played on a bag board set made by one of the apprentices on the winning team who was a classmate of Caleb Huls.

Caleb Huls was the son of another member, Rodney Huls, and was lost to us last year during his third year of apprenticeship.

Local 601 wishes you all a happy new year! Be ready to “light the path to the middle class” this election year.

Stay Union Strong.

Luther Baker, P.S.
