Brothers and Sisters,

As many of you may know, our contract expires this May.  In order to get a better understanding of what is important to the membership, your local 531 staff has put together a survey for your input.  This survey is set to be sent to the email we have on file this afternoon.  Please check your inbox, spam and/or junk folders.  If you do not receive this survey, please contact the office and make sure we have the correct email and we will resend it to you.  Please take the time to fill this out as your responses are very important to us.  Have a great weekend!

In Solidarity,

Jim Clarida

Business Manager/Financial Secretary

Brothers and Sisters,

I regret to inform you that Brother Ed Forney passed away Friday, January 8, 2021.  Ed has been a proud IBEW 531 member since 1979.  Visitation for Ed will be on Friday, January 15th, from 2 to 8 pm at the Newhard Funeral Home at 58 W. Walnut St. in Westville.  It is asked that masks be worn and social distancing be practiced as much as possible.  Due to COVID-19 concerns, a Mass of Chriostian Burial will be private.  He will be laid to rest in St. Mary Cemetary in Otis.  Memorial contributions in memory of Ed can be made to Angela M. Forney Memorial Scholarship by visiting give2tech.com or by using an envelope provided at the funeral home.  Please keep Ed's family in your thoughts and prayers.
