St Patrick’s Day Parade

,

Here we are, another year and another parade. This Sunday, March 19th is the Allentown St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We are once again marching in the Labor Union division.

For all those who have never been, it is a great time. We will be providing Guiness Chili and drinks. Our brothers and sisters of the Trade Unions provide a variety of food and drinks as well.

This is a great time to show your Local 302 pride while having fun. Families are welcome and encouraged. The parade can become a fantastic family tradition.

Sunday, March 19th 11:45ish to finish around 4. Enter the fairgrounds off Chew St,
Ritz entrance. Parking will be across from the Fairgrounds Market entrance closest to Ritz. Wear your Local 302 St Paddy s shirt. Please contact Perreault (484)892-1787, to let him know you’re attending and for any questions.

We look forward to seeing you,

MOU on Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Act

 Attached is the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Allentown and Local 302 IAFF with regards to the Pennsylvania Medical Marijuana Act.
 If you currently have a medical card or are prescribed one in the future any urinalysis that shows positive for marijuana will be treated as a negative test.
 We are currently working on a exact procedure for the member to file their card with the appropriate person, but until then if you test positive you will have to produce your medical card.
 IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A MEDICAL CARD AND HAVE A POSITIVE TEST YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE CURRENT CBA LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT TO THE PROCEDURE IN PLACE INCLUDING DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

Herbie Miller Memorial Service

 The Family memorial service for Herbie Miller will be this Saturday, January 28th from 11:30-1300. We will have 1 member standing guard by the urn every 15 min.
It will be at Morgan’s Restaurant at Cedar Crest and Willow in South Whitehall. It is in a banquet room there so I am not sure how it will be set up at the venue. If you are available for a time slot, text me 610-751-2703 (Lt. Trumbore). So far, I have Wentz down for 11:30-11:45 slot.

The Little Free Library

The Little Free Library outside the Fearless is almost empty. He is asking if any of our members have children’s books (Kindergarten up to teenagers) they’d be willing to donate. If so, they can drop them off at the Fearless Fire Station.
