.jpg) Local 602 recently pulled off a rather amazing reunion with their "Presidents' Social." Eight -- count 'em, eight -- past presidents joined current President Bill Reed for a luncheon and social gathering open to Local 602 members. Shown here, left to right, in the order they served (with the exception of the late Al Pressley) are: Richard Sandborn, Terry Ward, Ted Hartman, Garry Bernath, Matt Strickling, Art Luna, Doug Rademacher, Brian Fredline, and Bill Reed. Some are retired, some are working in other positions with the UAW International. You can see more pictures of the event in this gallery.

Per the Wall Street Cheat Sheet: At the Kogod School of Business at Washington, D.C.’s American University, researchers have concocted perhaps the most complete system to determine just how “American” a car really is. On top of the reporting used for the American Automotive Labeling Act (AALA), the Kogod team weights each vehicle score based on where it is assembled, to what country profits go, and even where the research behind each vehicle was conducted.
Not surprisingly, Lansing-made vehicles nail down most of the top American-made cars. See the list at:

.JPG) The 22nd annual letter carriers' food drive will take place on May 10.This is the largest one-day food drive in the country and helps food banks and their pantries replenish their supplies for the summer. With so many children receiving either free or reduced breakfast and lunch through school, when school is over they may not have the necessary food for meals in their home. This drive allows the food to get into the community where it is much needed. Please put out a bag of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before your letter carrier comes on Saturday, May 10.
You can also be a big help by volunteering to help sort items or drive them to collection points, or even donate gas cards. To sign up, call 517-203-5022 or email p.hemingway@micauw.org. You can also volunteer online at http://www.micauwvolunteercenter.org/HOC__Volunteer_Opportunity_Calendar_Page.
If you choose to volunteer as a driver, there is no reimbursement for gas. However, there will be refreshments available for all volunteers at the drop-off locations. The deadline to sign up for the NLFD is May 2. Please see this flyer for more info.
