The first ever Local 44 parking lot
BBQ was held on Friday October 9,
2009 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
inviting their entire membership to a
free BBQ lunch. Over 300 members
joined in during their respective
lunch breaks or came by after their 8
hour shifts. The idea was to get the
members together to chat with each
other and their officers about issues
that concern the industry in a casual
relaxing setting. The event was successful
and the Local plans to have
future parking lot BBQ's each quarter
of the year.
