Real Men Wear Pink - The Real Men of Louisville are a group of community leaders who have committed to ending the fight against breast cancer by committing to raise awareness and to raise money in this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Event. In support of my mother; a cancer survivor, and all the other mothers, sisters, aunts, etc. who have had to fight breast cancer, I have been selected to take part in the Real Men Wear Pink Campaign. You can help me support this great cause by making a donation to the UAW862 fund raising effort. Go to www.makingstrides.acsevents.org then go to “Find an Event”, select KY, and then Real Men Wear Pink of Louisville. Click the link next to my picture that will take you to our donation page. Your donation will directly help the American Cancer Society.
A special thanks to our Women’s Committee for challenging our members and friends to donate.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk Shirts – The shirts are available for purchase at the LAP Cafeteria Store. They will also be available at the October Membership Meetings. The shirts are v-neck in short sleeve ($15) and long sleeve ($20). If they sell out they will reorder more. The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk will be October 25, 2015 at 1:00pm at Waterfront Park.
Congratulations to Vera Newton (LAP) on her new position of International Vice President of the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW). Also to Bryan Kessinger (KTP) on his position as Employee Service and Support Program (ESSP) Representative. I know each of them will excel in their new roles.
