    From the Desk of President Tom Quackenbush

    First and foremost, on behalf of myself, the Executive Board, and our entire
    Staff, we would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas,
    and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

    This past year, we had a record year of fundraising for our Teamsters Care
    program. We had 53 scholarship recipients, and we were able to help countless
    members in need. We were able to give to many charitable organizations in our
    communities who help so many in need.

    Again, I thank our Teamsters Care Board of Directors and all of our volunteers
    for their efforts.

    I would be remiss if I did not mention our great sponsors that contribute to our
    program. Without their sponsorship of our events, our Teamsters Care program would not be the success that it is. We ask, whenever possible, please consider them for your needs because they believe in Unions and they believe in us!

    In closing, look for our Scholarship Application in the Spring and if
    you know of a member in need, please reach out to me with a formal request at
    Tquackenbush@teamsterslocal294.org.
