Welcome back to a brand new year! As we embark on this new year, I hope everyone begins with a renewed optimism for what this year will unfold for us. We have new staff that will be looking to veterans to help guide them in navigating on what can be an overwhelming year. As fellow MTA members, we need to rely on each other to ensure they are successful, as are we! Let us look out for each other! As NYS AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento often says, “let there be no daylight between us!” In the coming months be on the lookout for ways to come together as a union and to give back to our community! Our first get together will be scheduled for October 14, 2022 at Tapped in Middletown. It will be right after school ends. So, I ask that you all join in a celebration of the fall season and spend time with your fellow MTA members. I pray you all have a wonderful start to the year! MORE
