RETIREES’ CLUB OF L.U. 756, DAYTONA BEACH, FL — 2023 was a slow year for trying to rebuild attendance at our Retirees’ Club meetings, especially after COVID-19 shut us down for two years. We are hoping this year will bring more members back to our meetings to see old friends and reminisce.

We had a pin ceremony at our November 2023 meeting and want to congratulate everyone receiving pins, both those who were present and those who were not able to make it. Thank you all for your many years of service.

With sadness, we must announce that we have had one member pass since our last article. We send our condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Brother Rex L. Rawlins. We miss him greeting everyone at the door and his great stories.

We would like to invite any retired or unemployed brothers and sisters and their spouses in the area to come and join us. Our meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. at the Local 756 union hall in Port Orange, Fla.

Diane Gibbs, P.S.
