As you start to get older, you start to think about giving back\u2026It just feels right.\u201d<br \/>\nDoehring hopes to strengthen SMART\u2019s ties to the local community, boost member morale, and inspire lasting volunteer efforts. \u201cEveryone who comes to drop off their tree is always in a great mood. It\u2019s just an overall fun day,\u201d he said. \u201cIt makes my heart smile at the end of the day to know that I\u2019ve given back to the community.\u201d<br \/>\nLocal 26 members have coordinated and participated in a number of volunteer events in addition to the tree drop-off, like the Washoe County School District book drive and the KTMB E-Waste recycling days.<br \/>\nLocal 19 Wins Election at Singer Equipment Company<br \/>\nAfter a long fight with Singer Equipment Company\u2014 from the stipulation hearing to the ground campaign\u2014Local 19 sheet metal workers recently won an election on December 19.
