The only thing hotter than the weather was the competition at Eagles Crossing Golf Course in Carlisle on Sunday, August 3, 2025. Some of Local 776’s finest were out to enjoy a day of friendship, food, and prizes. There was plenty of friendly competition on the course, but bragging rights were on the line as members vied for first place in their respective flights, closest to the pin competition, and longest drive. After the last putt dropped and the divots had all been replaced, the members enjoyed a steak dinner while they talked about the errant shot, the putt that would not fall, and all things golf while the scores were tallied.

As is the custom at Local 776 events, a 50/50 drawing was held in support of the 776 Scholarship Fund. This year’s winner was Matt Moore of UPS.

Think you’ve got what it takes to tee it up with these guys? We’ll be doing it again next year, so work on your game, get a foursome together, and come on out for a day of great golf, great food, and great fellowship!

On July 19th and 20^th, 2025, Local 776 sponsored a health insurance seminar for UNFI Members to familiarize them with their new insurance benefits, which are available to them as a result of their recently ratified collective bargaining agreement. Business Agents Spencer Dearth and Chalmer Edgin, along with specialists from TeamCare, were on hand for the presentation.

Before turning the meeting over to the TeamCare representatives, Spencer opened the meeting: As many of you know, healthcare is one of the most vital benefits we fight for as a Union. It plays a significant role in your family’s financial security, your well-being, and your ability to plan for the future. That’s why we’ve organized today’s meeting: to ensure every member has a clear understanding of how TeamCare works and how to maximize the benefits available to them. Today’s meeting is designed to provide you with the necessary tools and information. We want you to walk away feeling confident about what’s covered, who you can turn to for help, and how to get answers when you need them. With that, I’ll turn the meeting over to our TeamCare specialists, Jackie Kovacs and Patty Fornino, to begin their presentation.
