      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

      The Susquehanna Valley Chapter of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) recently hosted the 27th annual John Hiestand Memorial Antique Truck Show in Carlisle, Pa. on August 31st. Local 776 Members, the father-son duo of Jeff and Kraig Keller, invited Local 776 to participate. Local 776 Vice-President Chalmer Edgin and Member Austin O’Brien, both drivers of the Local’s truck, spent the day hanging out with and greeting the owners and drivers of the many trucks that were on display. Many of the trucks were retired freight trucks from Union carriers of the past! While The Local’s tractor is not an antique just yet, it was welcomed to the event, allowing show spectators to view and compare vehicles from different eras.

      The Susquehanna Chapter of the ATHS was founded in 1992. Currently, Kraig serves as President, and his father, Jeff serves as Treasurer. The chapter currently has 110 members that meet once a month. In addition to the truck show other social events are held including an annual picnic for the members. Many Members own, restore, and maintain antique trucks but it is not a requirement for membership, just an interest in antique trucks and to meet with others who share that interest! If you’re interested in learning more about the Local Chapter Kraig can be reached at 717-332-7669.

      Commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson: "Thanks to Kraig and Jeff for the invitation to the show. As the motto on the Local’s trailer states, “Our History Creates Our Future.” Participating in the show helps the public remember the Teamsters Union is a large part of the Trucking Industry past and present"

      Local 776 VP Chalmer Edgin gave spectators a view of and answered questions about the Local’s truck.
