Navy Pier Summer Bash a Huge Success
Thursday, August 19th, 2010The annual Summer Bash this year was a great evening that climaxed with the wonderful fireworks display that rivals some 4th of July fireworks in many communities. This year’s event featured an american foods buffet and an open bar for the members. Most of the members who attended the event donated a total of $3000 dollars to the Jack Carey Memorial Scholarship, which benefits three outstanding law clerks each year with a $2500 award. Thank you to all the sisters and brothers who donated their checks to the scholarship fund! Special thanks to Local secretary, Amy Thompson (HTF) and also Cindy Brown (HTF) for organizing and coordinating the event.
The election for Union Trustee began with nominations. Four candidates were nominated: Kevin Ochalla (incumbent)(26th), Presita West (26th), Eleanor Roos (26th) and Rosa Silva (26th). The election which was subsequently held did not yield a majority vote getter and so the two leading vote getters, Ochalla and Silva will compete in a runoff election with a date, time and location yet to be determined by the board.
