L.U. 24 (es,i&spa), BALTIMORE, MD — Greetings from Charm City! At the beginning of this year, we bid farewell and happy retirement to Local 24’s vice president, Brother Ellwood Hanks. Brother Hanks has been in the trade for more than 40 years and has left a lasting impression on his apprentices and fellow journeymen. Brother Cory Shifflett said: “Wood has been a mentor and a role model for years. He would always lend an ear and support anytime I needed it. Ellwood exemplifies brotherhood, and all of us at Local 24 wish him well.”

With the retirement of Brother Hanks, other local union officer appointments were made by the executive board. We’d like to congratulate Brother Cory McCray, who will be filling the vice president position. Brother Miles Morris will be moving from our examining board to the executive board. To fill the position on the examining board, Sister Anna Moore was sworn in as an officer. We also welcomed Brother Jack Powell, who joined the organizing staff in January.

Once again, congratulations to all. Thank you for your willingness to serve the members of Local 24.

Live Better/Work Union.

Mike McHale, B.M.
