The York-Adams County Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO, conducted their annual fishing derby on Labor Day at Kiwanis Lake in York, PA. Former Local 776 Business Agent Dave Wolf, now retired, came out of retirement to attend the event on behalf of Local 776.

Dave reports on the event: “This year we had a good turnout with registration and fishing starting at 8:00 a.m. Prizes were given for ages 1 through 8 and 9 through 15. The largest fish caught was 26 inches. Prizes were also given to those who caught the most fish, etc. Afterward, all the age groups that participated received a new fishing rod and reel donated by Teamsters Local 776. Special thanks to Local 776 for supplying cold water and of course the new fishing rods that put a smile on all the participant's faces."

Commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson; “I would like to thank Dave for taking the time from retirement to represent the Local at this community event. His actions are the embodiment of the phrase we so proudly support “People Helping People” Additionally I would like to thank Local 776 BA Bill Olmeda for taking the time to to purchase the new fishing rod and reel combos that were presented to the kids.

Big smiles to go with their new equipment!

They're proud of their trophies!

His smile is almost as big as the fish he caught!

On the 23rd Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks Never Forget:

…The cowardly acts perpetrated against our country by those who seek to destroy us and our way of life.

…The innocent men, women, and children who lost their lives on this tragic day; only for being in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

…Our courageous first responders; who ran toward the disasters to offer help to those in need and perished while trying to help and serve their fellow Americans.

Most of us can recall where we were that tragic day, what we were doing as we first got word of the attacks on our country, and stood in shock as we watched the Twin Towers in New York City crumble.

Our Country may have been down, and many countries would have crumbled under such crushing blows, but while we watched in horror as the events unfolded before our eyes, our strength and resolve grew and we became a determined people to punish those who promote terrorism and to make sure this tragedy would never happen again.

Please take a moment today to pause and remember those who perished on 9/11. Remember our first responders who face danger daily, and finally remember and thank our armed forces; both here at home and deployed around the world ensuring that America remains the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

Fraternally,

Ed Thompson
