L.U. 269 (i&o), TRENTON, NJ — June has always been a busy month for our members, and 2024 was no exception. Weddings, graduations and sporting events seem to dominate the calendar, but there is one event that many of our members eagerly await every year: the annual retirees’ dinner held in mid-June. Nearly 300 members were treated to libations, a variety of outstanding food offerings, live music (thanks, Mike!) and freshly rolled cigars to be enjoyed on the back patio.
Retirees received service pins, watches and acknowledgment from the crowd for their years of dedication to our craft. The level of enjoyment was evident in the smiling faces, clapping of backs, and sound of laughter ringing throughout the dining room. Thanks to everyone who gave their time and their effort to once again make this the best night in the local!
Our fifth-year apprentice class had a night to remember, too. On the last Friday of June, the Local 269 examining board administered the journeyman electrician test to the graduating class, and we are proud to say that all passed with flying colors.
Congratulations and good luck going forward!
Brian Jacoppo, P.S.
