A&R Summer Picnic at La Bella Vista
The deadline to purchase tickets has been extended until noon of Friday June 29th.  The cost is $15 and the picnic is on Friday July 6th.   Remember, A&R members have a contract provision which allows for a half-day to attend an agency or union summer picnic; this is one of those opportunities to use that time.  We will soon finalize details for our late-summer picnic at Maneeley's for those who can't attend the picnic at La Bella Vista July 6th.

New Contract
The contract has been finalized and will soon be printed.  The full contract can be found on our website under: Membership | Contract
