Thank You To Those Who Donated
During this spring fundraising drive, members demonstrated their generosity to the request for donations by the Association’s political committee, the Retired Public Employees PAC. “Thanks to those members who voluntarily donated to the PAC’s work,” adds its Treasurer Shawn Duhamel. “They have never failed to answer the call, making this drive another success.”
While organized and maintained separately from Mass Retirees, the PAC contributes significantly to the Association’s overall mission, furthering its legislative and educational/ information programs. “As you can see from this issue of The Voice, we’re facing major health care and COLA challenges,” continues Duhamel.
“Mass Retirees success on these and other public retiree issues depends on both a strong and engaged membership, as well as having the financial resources required to win the anticipated fights. And, the PAC plays an essential role in that regard.”
Least we forget, this is an election year for the State Legislature. In addition to being used to support candidates who stand with public retirees, the PAC is also tapped to fund membership engagement and outreach. Facilitating our Area Meetings is just one example.
The fact remains that a wellfunded PAC gives us the ability to fight for you and win. It goes handin- hand with a strong, informed, and engaged membership.
