Here’s to the weekend! Hope everyone has the chance to do something they enjoy, like retired member Alvin Marsura who likes to take the boat out on Deer Lake in Stevens County, WA, to catch lake trout. Brother Marsura is a 40-year member of Roofers Local 189 living the good life!

It’s summer + that means #picnic time for many of our local unions. Last week Chicago @RoofersLocal11 broke out the grills to throw a big BBQ at the union meeting. Lots of new members were sworn in as well. Don’t forget to send us your picnic pictures to share in the magazine!
