Retirees - JOHN MC CANN, Chairman
Chapter Meetings - 1st & 3rd Tuesday of the Month
Well, here it is the start of September and summer is over. What summer? It sure seemed like it was really short and to me not very hot. I hope everyone had an enjoyable one regardless of the weather. Our Wenonah boat trip was nice and everyone seemed to enjoy it even though it was rather cool and damp.
Our First Annual Picnic was a great success. The weather was great and the food was good. About 320 people attended and we all had a good time.
I have a few comments on the national health care plan. The conservative Democrats and the Republicans are trying to cut a deal to make us pay taxes on our benefit package with General Motors. Don't be surprised when it comes out of Congress that it is in the health care bill.
Once again, they want to take another hit at the retirees. And, now another hit…by freezing the cost of living increase in our Social Security checks. I am angry at all of this because we worked hard and we have the right to live the rest of our lives in comfort and dignity, not in worry and poverty. I am sure you all feel the same way.
