| As P.O.W.E.R. Coordinator I would like to take this
time to say thank you to each and everyone who participate in making the Halloween Bash (view 2008 halloween photos) a delight. Allow me to start with the
ticket sellers who over extend themselves; to the buyers who participated in the purchase
of tickets those of you who was able to attend; the workers who help decorate the room the
night of the event, to the servers and to include the clean-up crew. The evening
would not have happen without all of you. I have received very positive feed back,
everyone had a ball. Thank you for your support. The APWU P.O.W.E.R. (Post Office Women for Equal
Rights) is the women’s committee within the American Postal Workers Union. It unites
women, with their special concerns, yet works within the framework of the national APWU
organization. MCAL general membership authorized to send four P.O.W.E.R. delegates to
attend the APWU P.O.W.E.R. Eastern & Northeast Regions Educational Conference on
Wednesday, October 29 – Each day was a full day; there was a session
on depression which a certified specialist who presented slides and answer questions on
identifying depression. Most of us men and women ignore our body, a lot of time we
are in denial. The session was very informational. NBA, Lamont Brooks, taught
a class in excessing, Article 12 of the CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) most post
offices are experiencing the action of excessing nationwide, this class was much needed.
There was discussion on APWU headquarters’ making cuts to the budget.
P.O.W.E.R. and a couple of other conference have been included in the cut. It has
been decided to cut the P.O.W.E.R. regional conferences, each region will share its on
expense; but the P.O.W.E.R. conventions which are every other year will remain in the APWU
budget. The Montgomery County Area Local, P.O.W.E.R.
delegates received a lot of attention while wearing their P.O.W.E.R. shirts. Our
shirts were a two day conversation the Sisters’ from the Eastern and Northeast
regions wanted us to take their orders. The P.O.W.E.R. Steering Committee — and
all the members of P.O.W.E.R. — invite you to join them in our rewarding and
productive action-oriented program. Together we can help improve the working climate not
only for APWU members but for all working people. P.O.W.E.R. meetings are held
immediately after the general membership meeting. Please Join Us! Congratulations President -elect Barack Obama of the United States of America From
the MCAL P.O.W.E.R. Sisters Happy Holiday until we meet again, Peace and Good well. P.O.W.E.R. to the people,
