Automotive Mechanics Lodge Local 510 News
A Word From Local 510 President Alan Steinhagen
*IMPORTANT MEETING CHANGES*
SUNDAY! SUNDAY!
SUNDAY!
A new day and time for the Automotive
Mechanics Lodge General Membership Meetings will take place Sunday,
April 22, 2018. This meeting will begin
at 10:00am. Steward and Executive Board meeting changes are posted
in the Calendar.
Recent changes in the Local lodge 510
By-laws, have allowed for changes in the general membership
meetings. Some meetings that were held on the 4th Monday of the
month, will move to Sunday, during the day. The Executive Board has
implemented this change as a result of numerous face to face
meetings, which took place at various member work locations over
the past years. We hope these convenient
changes will allow for more of the members participation.

Come and see the Automotive Mechanics Lodge new banner. It looks great and will serve the lodge well as we try to increase our membership, as well as our exposure within the community.
A special thanks extended to Bob Kazmierski and Al Steinhagen for all their efforts to make this possible.
Local 510 Has Moved To a New Location
The Automotive Mechanics Lodge has moved their office to a new location. This new location provides the lodge with many amenities that will benefit the members. Most important to the members is the new meeting hall (Yatchak Hall), where all the General Membership Meetings will be held beginning July 23, 2012. The new location is more easily accessible, located just one block off I-94 (near Miller Park stadium). Additionally, the new location provides members with conference rooms, meeting rooms, security system, kitchen, coolers, large parking lot, and a large deck which includes grills and green space. Come to the July meeting where we will celebrate our new location with a brat cookout.
Union Growth/Leadership I
Local 510 has an opening in the 2018 Leadership training program, to send one more person to William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center for Leadership 1.
There is also a need to send at least three members to the William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center for a Union Growth Class. This class is designed to educate locals on how to grow your membership through external organizing. The class is specifically offered through the Midwest office and must be approved by the Local 510 Executive Board. This class is one week long, and lost time and travel expenses are covered by the local.
If you are interested in either of these opportunities, let your Steward know or email Local 510 President Alan Steinhagen at asteinhagen@iamlocal510.com.
