QUARTERLY REPORT

Greetings Brothers and Sisters, first of all, I would like to thank the convention delegates for your vote of confidence by electing me as your District 2 Board Member of the Texas State Association of Letter Carriers. As your District 2 Board Member, I plan to keep all the members of District II informed on the current legislative issues that are affecting letter carriers and the Postal Service as a whole.

Brothers and Sisters, we can no longer sit on the side line, we must get in the game and do everything we can to help save our jobs and benefits. During the Convention, the delegates present had an opportunity to sign up as an automatic contributor to COLCPE. I am encouraging every letter carrier to sign for payroll deduction for COLCPE and become an E-Activist.

Also during the convention, our newly appointed President, Fred Rolando, encouraged delegates to consider enrolling in the plan during Open Season. That is one of the easiest ways that we can begin to save our jobs. I personally, in my capacity as the District Board Member, began delivering the message about the importance of enrolling in the NALC Health Benefit Plan at the Garland Branch 3993 general membership meeting.

With the amendment attached to S1507 that would affect the collective bargaining during contract arbitration. I am encouraging each and every one to sign up for COLCPE and tell a friend because there is POWER in numbers. In closing I would like to express my congratulations to all of the elected officers of the TSALC. Please feel free to contact me regarding any concerns at my e-mail and phone number below.
