RAWLES THANKS UNION FOR SUPPORTING RETIREES

Ken Rawles, recorder for the Santa Rosa Chapter of the Local 1245 Retirees Club, visited the Local 1245 staff meeting at Weakley Hall on Oct. 1 to thank the union for supporting retirees. He reported that the union’s Retirees Club, which has six chapters, continues to advocate for retirees. The club also maintains close ties with the California Alliance of Retired Americans (CARA), a statewide nonprofit organization that unites retired workers and community groups to win social and economic justice for retirees, their families, and future generations.

More information on CARA can be found at www.californiaalliance.org/. To get active in the Local 1245 Retirees Club, check the schedule of meetings for the six chapters.

Rawles also maintains a retirees blog for the IBEW Ninth District.
