IAMAW Local Lodge 692

Next meeting is on Wednesday August 26, 2009;  Topic the H.S.T.

Sorry for the delay on the videos, could use a little advice on the buying of a video editing software, going to take a good look at Corel software. Any suggestions  or advice please comment.

It is with great sadness that we advise you of the passing of Joe Kropinak on June 1, 2009.

Joe was a long serving member of Local Lodge 692 serving as both Business Representative and Directing Business Representative. He began his career at Ranier Lumber where he became a Welder. In March, 1965 Joe joined the Machinists Union as a Welder for Finning Ltd. Joe was elected to Serve as a Business Representative in May, 1973. He continued this participation until his retirement in July of 1993.

His retirement years were filled spending time with family and enjoying his favourite activities such as fishing and just being on the ocean. He especially loved the cabin at Rail Lake where he was surrounded by children and grandchildren. He is survived by his loving wife Carol, his two son’s Rob and Dale and his beloved grandchildren Danny, Tyler, Kaila, Chloe, Michelle and Tara. Joe was a colorful character who will be lovingly remembered. The family expresses that in lieu of flowers, donations to Rick Hansen Foundation or the B.C. Cancer Society would be appreciated.

Just purchased a Kodak  Zi6, just learning how to use it now, LL 692 video production is the future. Check often for updates.

Remember to study the Issues. They relate to ourselves, the citizens and workers of British Columbia. Please remember to Vote! Do we want our natural resources turned over to private companys with long term hidden contracts?

Local Lodge Site a work in progress.

The premise of the lodges using Wordpress and learning the software at the District office in Surrey is to be able to teach and learn from each other. This will advance the progress of the ideals of the IAM and of the labour movement as a whole.
