On January 15th, Sister Michelle Hullinger and Brother Carl Pycz responded to Phoenix with the ambulance on a house  fire.  While standing by at the scene, they  came in contact with the residents from the effected home. The family lost everything.  Firefighters see many sad things throughout their careers.  Carl and Michelle decided to do something about it and decided  to try and make this family's plight more bearable. Starting as soon as they got back to quarters, they were able to collect clothes and other goods for the family of 9. The family could not believe that firefighters from another community would take the time to help them out. The ER staff at St. James Olympia Fields also stepped up. Local 2720 is proud to have members that will go above and beyond to make lives better. 

The entire membership of Local 2720 would like to offer sincere condolences to Mayor Welch and his family on the untimely passing of his son Matthew. Matt was Director of the City Amphitheater and was well known throughout the community. We wish The mayor and his family the best during this very difficult time.

Congratulations to President Mike Kilburg, Vice-President Brent Hullinger, Secretary Michelle Hullinger and Treasurer Derek Dangoy on being re-elected by acclimation. There are many challenges that our local and our city will face in the future. The entire membership will play a pivotal role in shaping the future success of Local 2720.

 The annual visit to St. Coletta's is December 15th at 17:30.  All Local 2720 members are invited to attend. Because of all of your individual generosity, the residents will have plenty of gifts to open. Once again our local has made the holidays a little bit brighter for those less fortunate then us.

Just a friendly reminder to get out and vote down the proposed Constitutional Convention. Urge your family, friends and neighbors to vote NO to this wasteful use of tax dollars.
