UWUA Local 304 Family Picnic 2019

What a wonderful turnout for yesterdays 2^nd Annual 304 picnic. I know forces beyond our control prevented some from coming, however, good fellowship was had by all that were in attendance.

Below is a list of prizes that were drawn for. All dues paying members were eligible for prizes regardless of your attendance to the picnic.

I’d like to personally thank the committee who selflessly contributed MANY of their own personal hours and time to make sure this picnic was one to be remembered. So thank you Jessica Pierce for taking care of the gifts, Carl Cooper for the food and cooking, Bob Cain for the publication, retiree notification, and pictures. Chris Scheuvront for the bounce houses and cooking, Tom Cunningham for planning, set up and cleanup.

We also held a 50/50 raffle that collected $256.00. The winner of that raffle was Louis Rodina, son of Paul Rodina. Half went to the winner with the other half going to a charity of the winners choice. Louis chose to donate his half of the winnings along with our half to the Lord’s Pantry in Shinnston. I’d like to publicly thank this young man for his kind and generous donation.

Lastly, I’d like to thank those who assisted the day of the picnic. Kathy Cooper cooked Friday with Carl in preparation and was there to setup and just take care of anything we needed. Tom Cunningham and his boys for their assistance ALL day not only with setup but I’m certain he was the last to leave, Jessica Pierce for coordination of all the prizes for the kids and adults, also with setup and cleanup, Chris Scheuvront for his help setting up, cooking, and cleanup. Carl Cooper for his assistance setting up, cooking, and cleanup. Eugene and Connie Baker for help cleaning up, Dave and Tonya Price for help cleaning up, and Paul Rodina for his help cleaning up and unloading items back at the storage unit. I guess my biggest thank you goes to the families of our committee members as you had to hear about and deal with this picnic planning for the past 3 months.

Thank you to all that attended. If you liked this year’s picnic, please let one of the members know. If you’d like to see something different next year, let one of us know. If your name is on the prize list, contact either Tom Cunningham or myself and make arrangements to pick up your prize. Prizes not claimed or stored until next years picnic will automatically be entered into next year’s prize give away.
