L.U. 131 (i,rtb,rts,se&spa), KALAMAZOO, MI — The work outlook is steady in Kalamazoo. Several projects are keeping the book clear. Travelers are working in our jurisdiction. Gun Lake Casino, the new 15-story hotel and aquadome, has several floors enclosed and is still a cold construction site.
The Halloween party was a huge success. Many stories and the sharing of IBEW values really came through. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped. The retirees’ Christmas party was also well attended. More than 40 members explained to me how good we have it now.
At the Sixth District Progress Meeting, Local 131 member Corey McCulloch gave an emotional and moving talk about his experiences and challenges as a transgender man in the IBEW.
Thank you, Corey, for the inspiration.
Collective bargaining class was held at the Kalamazoo hall for several Michigan locals. Thank you, Lisa Page and C.J. King. This was an excellent class, and you are amazing.
We now look forward to the Kalamazoo Jan. 31 annual party (1-31 Day).
Morris A. Applebey, B.M.
