What's New

Another 4 years is gone.

Thanks to everyone for the your support the last four years. Also, THANK YOU to the citizens of Spokane County Fire District 9 for your support of the M & O Levy.

Please support your new union adminstration like you did for me. While there is a lot of work, when you have support it is easier to do the job you ask us to do. This will be the youngest group we have had in a very long time. Moon is going to have his hands full.

Fraternally and may God Bless you,

Dan Stussi

President Local #2916

E-Board Position 3 Filled

Aug 30, 2010 (19:19:03)

First and foremost I would like to thank all who expressed interest in running for the vacated e-board position. Everyone of these guys could have done the job and could have been very successful. With only one position to fill it was no easy task choosing the newest e-board member. I would also like to thank the rest of the executive board for their time and effort. Again this was no easy decision. With this said congratulations are in order for Brother Rian Colt who has been appointed to Position 3 effective September 1st. Rian will be a great addition to our leadership as we embark with a new regime.

Fraternally,

Christian

General Elections Voter's Guide

Brothers,

Some of you have asked who the state counsel has endorsed. I couldn't drag the information out of them for the Primary Election, but it seems as though interest is higher for the General Election. I hope this information helps.

Fraternally,

Christian
