RETIREES’ CLUB OF L.U. 136, BIRMINGHAM, AL — The retiree members of Local 136 had some very good meetings in 2023. Thanks to Retirees’ Club President Frank Perryman for making sure we had business to take care of all year. Our meetings are the first Wednesday of every month.
We have bricks left for our local’s Wall of Fame. Contact Frank if you want a brick.
We award service pins to Retirees’ Club members, usually at 50 years or more of membership. Former Fifth District International Vice President Dan Waters received a 70-year pin, and several others were present to receive their pins. We always serve fried Alabama catfish on that day, and NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Red Farmer showed up for the good catfish. If you have retired, come on down.
We always have good eats: fried catfish (two times this year), soup and salad, turkey and dressing, deli sandwiches, and good Alabama barbecue. Some of the retiree sisters help us make lunch. Thanks to them for all the help and outstanding desserts.
We have a moment of silence at meetings for our deceased brothers and sisters. We want to thank our local union officers, Business Manager Bill Blackmon, President Ross Roberson and the executive board for their support.
In closing, we have had some retirees get hurt in their yards, on their roofs, cutting trees, doing side jobs, on lawnmowers and in their cars.
Remember this: If it looks unsafe, it might be!
Bill Roberson, P.S.
