Greetings to all Local 308 members from the Delegates and Guest Registration.  I'm honored to be here representing the mail handlers from our great local.  Even though the convention is being held in Disney World, there's nothing "Mickey Mouse" about what's going on here.  Already the delegates are studying and reviewing the convention reports and getting ready for the opening convention on Monday morning.

Since I've been a member of the Resolutions Committee, I've seen first-hand the amount of work it takes to shift through the number of resolutions that the National received from its members.  The delegates will vote on those resolutions later this week.

I promise to keep you informed about what's going on at the convention everyday starting this Monday.  I'll be sending these updates to our Webmaster Billy Smith, president of Wilkes-Barre.  So, look for daily updates right here.

Fraternally,

John Macey
President Local 308
