January’s Monthly Meeting Update
The first meeting of the year was held this month, and it was nice to get back into the swing of things. We did a recap of the last year, went over some carry over items, and went over some new matters that are or will be facing us in the year to come. We […]
Angel Tree-2018
Once again, UWUA Local 304 members have stepped up and adopted SIX (6) local children from the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program!
