Chicago Local<br />
Sponsors Charity Drive<br />
In mid-November, Local 2 sponsored<br />
150 children from kindergarten to 8th<br />
grade, via “Operation Warm” to each<br />
get a brand-new winter coat and two new<br />
books at the Chicago Public Library.<br />
“Operation Warm” is a charity designed<br />
to benefit less fortunate children<br />
living in blighted neighborhoods. Local 2<br />
helped provide the kids, and their moms,<br />
a positive experience at their neighborhood<br />
public library. Interactive games<br />
were provided by the Museum of Science<br />
and Industry, a musical sing a long was<br />
provided by a neighborhood artist, an<br />
alphabet twister game was hosted by the<br />
Sun-Times and the finale was the coat and<br />
book give-away.<br />
“This was undoubtedly the most<br />
heartwarming experience of my life,” stated<br />
International Vice President/Business<br />
Agent of Local 2 Craig Carlson. “To see a<br />
need of these children be addressed and so<br />
thankfully received by both children and<br />
their mothers.”<br />
All of the above was funded by a<br />
$3,500 donation from Local 2.<br />
Above are the books donated by Local 2<br />
