Go For AFA Blue at the Company Meeting October 9th.

Your LEC Officers are thrilled with the overwhelming show of solidarity by the outpouring of advanced t-shirt requests from our strong and very united membership.  Go AFA!

With this awareness comes the realization that our original plan to set aside t-shirts for those ordering in advance, is not possible.  Therefore all t-shirts will be handed out on a first come, first served basis prior to the meeting.  We will do our best to provide you with a fit as close to your size as possible.

Although we are not anticipating it, if we run out of shirts entirely, we’d like you to come prepared with a shirt in the same color scheme (royal/cobalt blue).  We’d also like to request that AFA sits together in a sea of AFA blue.

Your AFA officers will be in the lobby of the Grand Californian at 1 PM!

We apologize for not being able to respond to each email we received.

Thank you all for you commitment and dedication to our over 3000 member strong Union at Alaska.

We look forward to seeing you on the 9th

In solidarity,

Sandra, Kelly, Kelese and David
