HUNDREDS TURN OUT BETWEEN COOS BAY, SALEM, and BEND.
 
At the end of 2006 the Leadership of Local 555, along with the help of Associated Third Party Administrators (ATPA), set out across the jurisdiction to inform members of their personal retirement pension status.  Many hours went into setting these events up not only from staff at UFCW but also from ATPA staff.  Each person that registered to attend was able to see exactly where they stood.  The information explaining how to read and understand the statements were generic but the data was specific.  The word quickly spread throughout the jurisdiction grabbing the attention of many. The event was so popular that it was requested to expand from the original locations into other areas and conduct these Pre-Retirement Seminars.
 
Gene Pronovost, Jeff McDonald, and Roberta Cunningham added dates in Coos Bay, Salem, and Bend.  The turnout was better than expected.  Hundreds turned out and hundreds learned some valuable information.  The goal of the leadership team is to have a powerful member base.  Power comes from an active and informed membership.  If you are interested in having a Pre-Retirement Seminar in your area please contact Jeff McDonald.
