L.U. 269 (i&o), TRENTON, NJ — Once again this year, the union hall was the epicenter of holiday-related activities. Festivities began with an armada of vehicles with Santas in tow canvasing neighborhoods throughout our jurisdiction, spreading cheer and goodwill on both sides of the Delaware River.
Next came the annual members’ Christmas party, where food and spirits were provided in abundance and all our brothers and sisters who attended had their fill. Old friends and new acquaintances alike gathered in solidarity to celebrate the season.
The following week, Santa and Mrs. Claus took up residence in the main hall and listened attentively to the Christmas wishes of members’ children who came to visit. Every child left with a toy and a smile.
Thanks to everyone who donated their time and energy to help make the holidays a joyous time for all. And a special thanks to retiring Treasurer Sean Cullen. For many a year, due to his special connections at the North Pole, we are proud to be able to say that Santa himself was at our hall this year. I hope we’ll be saying that for many more years.
Brian Jacoppo, P.S.
