Happy New Year to all of my brothers and sisters at Local 1613.

I appreciate hearing from those of you who have kept in touch over the last year. It is hard to believe that it has been almost nine months since I left Kansas City, and headed for Washington DC. Although I miss the daily activities of serving as President of the local, I am enjoying the new challenge as an International Representative in the Utility Department of the International Office.

The Utility Industry is in a turmoil across the country, and we have our work cut out for us. I want to impress upon each of you the importance of participating in your local union activities. The local exists to serve you, however in turn you must serve your local.

Best wishes for the New Year, may it be successful and prosperous through your renewed union activity.

In Solidarity,
Linda Mathews
