L.U. 16 (i), EVANSVILLE, IN — The 30th annual Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights was favored with excellent weather and the highly skilled electrical workers this extensive holiday light show requires. More than a mile of Garvin Park is decorated with beautiful lighting arrays, and those viewing pay a small fee. The proceeds are used to underwrite life-changing therapy sessions for children and adults through Easterseals Rehabilitation Center. More than $4.3 million was raised going into the 2023 season, and the event has continued to grow with more than 80 displays, including 18 new fixtures and a traveling Andy the Elf hidden in various locations.
Congratulations to former Business Manager Paul Green on his election to City Council! Paul has been a longtime advocate for the underprivileged, serving in board positions for Easterseals, United Caring Services, Aurora and other community organizations. Best wishes are also due to Brother Mike Baehl for his win as Poseyville township councilman.
A special meeting held in November determined the needs of the membership for upcoming contract negotiations. Thanks to the numerous brothers and sisters who participated in creating a brighter future for this local.
Donald P. Beavin, P.S.
