The Ironmen Motorcycle Club is having their first run on Sunday, June 28th. They will meet at 9:00 a.m.  in the parking lot, Local 7 Boston.

Please stress that they do not have to have a patch, please bring friends and let's enjoy the brotherhood for which we all share. That common goal which Unionism brings.

    The ride will take us on  the Mohawk Trail and around the hair-pin turn and then home. Along the way we stop for lunch  etc.

Arny Krane (and many others) has/have been patient while we straightened out problems with the website. Please take note of his message that ANYONE who wants to participate is welcome...

We won't change how we feel about the Yankees, John.

We also won't change the way we feel about you and how much we appreciated your hard work on our behalf...

It is with deep regret that we announce
 the death of our dear friend

John Cotton
John worked for the Segal Company and was our fund actuary for
over 20 years. He was a learned man who cared greatly and worked hard to ensure our members were provided a retirement that was commensurate with their hard work. He will be missed. John was probably the biggest Yankee fan that ever lived and we spent every fund meeting in a session of give and take over the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry.

Services: Friday May 8, 2009
