Throughout the month of December at our DOC facilities and domicile locations, and on December 19, 2013 at 7 PM at the Union hall, Local 117 members are gathering together by the hundreds for cookies, coffee, solidarity and our annual raffle drawing.

Dozens of prizes are awarded each year, including iPods, Wiis, power tools, bottles of wine, gift cards and televisions sets. All of the gifts are purchased from companies with whom Local 117 has a bargaining relationship.

“This is our way of showing our gratitude to our members for their extraordinary contribution to this Union,” said Secretary-Treasurer Tracey A. Thompson.

At the meeting, your Local Union will be collecting non-perishable food items for local Food Banks to help families in need, so be sure to bring something to fill up the boxes on display in the front lobby.
