Retired Public Employees Council, Chapter 39 Asotin/Garfield

Members met Dec. 18 at Mama K’s in Clarkston. Phyllis Cannon read the previous meeting’s minutes and gave the treasurer’s report which both were approved.

Members participated in a grab bag gift exchange for Christmas and Cannon provided homemade fudge and chocolate treats.

Nick Fiore gave the president’s update, which included highlights of the chapter’s accomplishments over the past year. They included participation in the 2024 legislative week; attendance at the biennial convention in Wenatchee in September; and raising enough money to send a $100 chapter donation to the Retired Public Employee Political Action Committee.
