On Friday, January 2, 2009, Vice-President Shawne Wallace passed away.  It was a shock to his fellow officers and many, many friends throughout the Union Stores.   We are all deeply saddened by this sudden and unexpected loss.

Our Union has lost a true friend, and a true unionist.  Shawne you will be missed.

Local 1-S is planning a Memorial Service for Shawne.  Details are still being discussed and we will update the members when the plans are finalized.

Each year Local 1-S hosts Pictures with Santa at the Union Office. This year's event will take place on Sat. Dec. 13th and Sun. Dec.14th. from 10:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. each day.
