Members Gather in Central Park for the Union BBQ

Over one hundred Local 1171 Union members and their families met at Central Park on October 24th for a delicious Union BBQ and play day. Many retired Brothers turned out for an afternoon of good eatin' and socializing. Although it looked like some pretty ominous rain clouds might threaten our good time, it turned out to be a fantastic Fall day with cool temps and plenty of sunshine.

Thanks to B-Shift Vice President J.D. Madden and his helpers for spearheading this event and getting it back on track after a couple of missed years. We look forward to more events like this one in the future.

Thanks also to Brother Mike Ryan for putting together a raffle that benefited the Santa Clara Firefighters Foundation. Mike said, "For very little effort, we collected $327!" Brother Trevor Cantanho won the grand prize of $163.50 and promptly donated it right back to the Foundation! Now that's Brotherhood in action!
