This past year has presented itself as one that none of us will ever forget. The pandemic, launch of the Bronco, and the Presidential election were just some of the hottest topics throughout 2020. The pandemic continues to affect the local monthly meetings for both the regular membership and the retirees. I am still amazed that it will almost be a full year since we held a meeting! The leadership is constantly watching to see when the local can resume all of the meetings and events. As soon as we are able to safely hold a meeting, we will notify everyone. I ask that everyone continues to wear their masks, wash or sanitize your hands frequently, and practice social distancing. Even though there is a possible vaccine, we all need to continue to protect ourselves, our co-workers, and especially our families. The Bronco was finally revealed to the public.
