    Plumbers Family Picnic
Sunday, September 12, 2010

4900 N Mississippi Dr

Along West Bank of Mississippi River @ 49th & I-94

12:00p.m. - 4:00 p.m. - Prize drawings at 3:00

 

WE NEED (a lot of) VOLUNTEERS

 

Every year it's been the same volunteers who have missed out on most of the picnic due to the fact that there is not enough help - this picnic could not happen without volunteers - so if you can give a little time it will be greatly appreciated and will allow EVERYONE to enjoy lunch and spend time with their family & union friends!!!

 

For every hour you volunteer you will receive one extra raffle ticket to increase your chances to win prizes at the 3pm drawing! Please call Patty

@ 612-333-8601 to sign up.

Thank you!

Journeyman training flyers were mailed out in August.  Only members that fill it out and sent it back with the classes they are interested in are notified once the class is set up.  Classes will not be set up if only a few members respond to a certain class. If you did not get yours sent in you can go to our website, Training15.com and print one or call the Apprenticeship office and one will be mailed to you.

We will be holding a City Gas Prep Class on October 14 and 21, 2010 for those interested in obtaining the City of Minneapolis Competency Card for journeyman and master plumbers.
