President Re: 2009 Bergen County COPE Cocktail Reception Charles Mattson IBEW Local 164 Executive On behalf of the Bergen County Central Trades and Labor Council, Vice Presidents AFL- CIO and in partnership with the Bergen County Building and Vincenza Ramirez UNITE HERE Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO, I would like to cordially invite you to attend a Cocktail Reception on Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at the New Bridge Mike Schneider AWIU Local 32 Inn in New Milford. The proceeds of this event will benefit our Committee

Ann Twomey on Political Education (COPE) and support our Labor 2009 Member HPAE/AFT Mobilization Campaign. Ronda Wilson CWA Local 1089 As you know, there is much at stake for working people in this year’s Vice Presidents race for Governor and State Assembly in . Equally important Anthony Candela are the local elections for the Board of Chosen Freeholders. Electing labor IUPAT DC 711 friendly candidates is crucial to achieving a working families agenda for our Michael "Doc" Doklia members. GCC/IBT Local 1L Elizabeth Gray In 2008, we scored a victory with the election of Barack Obama to AFT Local 3977 the U.S. Presidency, and our Central Labor Council was instrumental in William Mullins IFPTE Local 194 re-electing Frank Lautenberg to the U.S Senate and Steve Rothman to U.S. House of Representatives. More importantly, we’ve worked throughout the Juan Negron IAM Lodge 447 year to hold those elected politicians accountable to their campaign promises Maria Ordway by garnering support for pro-worker legislation, project labor agreements, UFCW Local 1262 organizing and contract fights. In addition, we are one of the few CLCs Rick Sabato that maintain a full-time Executive Director in order to more successfully UA Local 14 implement our campaigns. Georgeanne Scarpelli IBEW Local 827 We hope to build upon our past success and continue to expand our Ann Sparanese RWDSU Local 108 program. These goals can only be achieved by a well financed, resourced and staffed Central Labor Council with the solidarity of the entire labor Marty Wymbs SMWIA Local 25 movement.

Executive Director Enclosed you will find a flyer and order form. For more information, Mauro Camporeale please contact our Executive Director Mauro Camporeale at (201) 967-5953. Legal Counsel I hope your union will be able to attend the Cocktail Reception and contribute Joyce Parisi to our COPE Program.
