BRANCH 100 YEAR CELEBRATION A SUCCESS

​

      On Sunday November 10th, 2024, Branch 2184 members along with their families, friends and a few special guests celebrated the Branch’s 100th Anniversary. The celebration took place at the Prestige Banquet Hall in Allen Park from 2pm until 6pm. A total of about ninety people came out and had a wonderful time catching up with one another. NALC Headquarters EVP Paul Barner spoke to everyone about the tentative agreement. Region 6 National Business Agent David Mudd was also in attendance and he spoke on the tentative agreement as well. Michigan State Association of Letter Carriers President Carl Blassingame and his wife attended the event. We also had the chance to hear from two Branch 2184 past presidents, Tim Manning, and Paul Diebolt. They both spoke about the history of our branch. MISALC President Blassingame presented me with a 100 Year Plaque for our branch on behalf of the MISALC. Brother Don Ferraro, President of NALC Branch 3126 also presented our Branch with a 100-year Anniversary plaque. We had dancing and great food, and raised money for MDA as well! There are pictures of the event elsewhere in this newsletter.
