Today, TAAAC Vice President Jorge Cordoba and I handed out cupcakes and member pamphlets at Ft. Smallwood Elementary and Northeast Middle Schools. We’re going to be stopping by schools around the county in the mornings and afternoons to greet people to hear how things are going, answer questions, and make sure members know their rights! Reply to this email directly if you want us to schedule an informal visit to your school.
Tomorrow is our first Rep Assembly meeting of the year! All members are welcome to get union updates, listen to debate, hear about upcoming endorsements, and sign up for committee actions. Join us at Severna Park Middle at 5:00pm tomorrow.
