On June 13, 2002 the San Antonio Chapter of the United way held its unveiling of the 2002 poster for the United Way Campaign. The actual Kick-off gets underway this August however, the labor liaison Ms. Terrie Ramos garnished the central labor council in connection with the Postal Service and its tremendous help each year to the United Way to hold the unveiling and signing ceremony at the GMF located at 10410 Perrin Beitel Rd in the cites Northeast side of town.

Larry James district manager for the Rio Grande District opened the ceremonies by introducing the dignitaries that were present. Bob Salvatorte, President for the Central Labor Council and Builders Trade Union was present, as well as representative for the Musicians Union, Mr. Munoz.

N.A.L.C. President Rudy Perez and his vice-president Nancy were in attendance. Mailhandlers Union AVP Marvin Henry was present, Representatives for the American Postal Workers Union were present, Starting with Vice-President, Eustolio “BEAR” Garcia, Clerk Craft Dir. “B” Tony Villarreal , Maintenance Craft Dir. Richard Braziel, and MVS Dir. Guillermo Olivares were present.

The Postal Service surpassed the 2000 campaign by 20% in the year 2001 and is looking to surpass that goal by 40% this year. With the effort we can surpass that and help many needy services here in the city of San Antonio. At present it seems that postal management here in San Antonio is willing to listen to the concerns of the workers to help ensure that their contributions do go to a worthy organization. With the ceremonies today this marks an unprecedented beginning to the United Way campaign one in which labor and management actually are on the same of the table to help in reaching a goal of good doing good for our community one that makes us all proud to be postal workers but more so to be in San Antonio and to bring our city into the limelight throughout our nation as a leader in this endeavor.

May God Bless us and help us in this task.
