June brought another huge gain for both the 2nd District and the Federation. The 2nd District saw a net gain of 135 Members, bringing the total membership to 22,221. The Federation saw a net gain of 3,478 members, giving AFGE a total of 260,388 members nationwide. This is due in part to the recent VA Blitz membership drive, conducted by the VA Council, as well as other organizing drives being conducted. We have upcoming Organizing Drives coming up throughout the District, so lets keep this increase going. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!
We are planning to hold FINANCIAL OFFICERS TRAINING, which is set for July 25-30 at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. If you are interested in attending this training, please contact Administrative Secretary Marona Griffin at the 2nd District office (732) 828-9449. Seating is Limited.
****CORRECTION****The correct start time for the NY Liberty - Phoenix Mercury game is 7:30PM NOT 4:00 as stated on the flyer. The start time for the Pre-Game tournament is still slated for 11:00AM on Saturday, August 14. A new flyer will be sent out to Locals.
We will once again be participating in Union Night at Madison Square Garden with the New York Liberty which is scheduled for Saturday, August 14, 2010. Prior to the game we will taking part in the pre-game basketball tournament, which was won last year by Local 2005, who currently holds the 2nd District Champions Trophy that the tournament winner receives. A mailing has been sent out to all Locals, however the mailing can be sent via email. To request a copy, please email Administrative Assistant Christina Salazar at salazc@afge.org. Last year, we had a huge participation from the Locals and we'd like to have a bigger participation this year. Keep in mind, the higher the participation, the more teams we can have in the tournament.
