Make Your Vote Count

With Election Day is only a few short weeks away, early voting has begun in many states. In New York early voting will take place for one week prior to Election Day, from Saturday, October 24 – Sunday, November 1. For our members living in Florida, the statewide early voting dates are Saturday, October 24 – Saturday, October 31. Additional days may be added on a county by county basis. Members who reside in other states should consult the website for their state and county election commission.

REMEMBER – If you are voting by mail, please return your ballots early to insure delivery by the postal service in time to be counted.

Sad News

Rod Jennings, retired Bellerose Avenue teacher, has informed us that his lifetime spouse of 33 years, Philip A. Bruderman, died of sudden heart failure on August 18. Phil was 66 years old and died at their home in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Phil was an organ donor, as well as a member and monthly donor to the National ASPCA for forsaken and abused pets. Rod requests memorial donations in Phil’s name be forwarded to the National ASPCA at aspca.org.

We mourn with our nation …

Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.
