SMART UnionOctober of each year marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an international campaign to increase knowledge of the disease and boost efforts to research its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. Last year, SMART Local 38 members in Brewster, New York, played their part during the local’s October union meeting: The hall was decorated with pink accessories, and Local 38 officers and members wore pink to show their support for this worthy cause.
On Saturday, August 10, the Local 38 (Westchester and Rockland Counties, N.Y.) SMART Army held its first Annual Benefit Car Show for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation — an organization that, since 9/11, has worked to provide “mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and … [build] specially-adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders,” among other efforts. The event brought in approximately 200 spectators to view the cars and take a tour of Local 38’s union hall and training center, and raised more than $5,000 for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Local 38 (Brewster, New York) debuted its new sign — created by Local 137 (New York City) — following its union meeting in September.
