We collected 48 units of blood with <strong>the potential of saving 144 lives</strong>. This year we teamed up with IATSE <a href="http://costumedesignersguild.com/" target="_blank">Local 892 (Costume Designers)</a> and <a href="https://www.motionpicturecostumers.org/" target="_blank">Local 705 (Costumers)</a>, and <a href="http://www.iatselocal80.org" target="_blank">Local 80 (Grips, Set Medics) </a>was kind enough to host us.<br /> <br /> We were also joined by &ldquo;Be the Match&rdquo; (for bone marrow donors), the Will Rogers Foundation and the Actors Fund, all giving out information to union members.<br /> <br /> Special thanks to all of our 871 members who volunteered.<br /> Marvel Wakefield<br /> Tricia Ronten<br /> Stirling Belafonte<br /> Elisa Brown</p> <p><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Blog/IMG_1014.JPG" style="margin: 10px; width: 30%; height: 30%;" title="" /><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Blog/IMG_1023.JPG" style="margin: 10px; width: 30%; height: 30%;" title="" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Blog/IMG_1009.JPG" style="margin: 10px; width: 30%; height: 30%;" title="" /><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Blog/IMG_1016.JPG" style="margin: 10px; width: 30%; height: 30%;" title="" /></p> 1068'Christmas in July' a Big Success!https://www.ialocal871.org/About-Us/Local-871-News/PostId/1065/christmas-in-july-a-big-successCommunity Services,VolunteerTue, 08 Aug 2017 16:48:45 GMT<p><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Committees/Community%20Services%20Committee.jpg" style="margin: 10px; width: 15%; height: 15%;" title="" /></p> <p>Christmas in July<br /> July 15, 2017<br /> <br /> We had a very successful booth at &ldquo;Christmas in July&rdquo; sponsored by state Senator Holly Mitchell at USC.<br /> <br /> At the IATSE 871 booth we had kids make vision boards and it was a great success. We had a booth filled to capacity from 10:00am when the kids started coming in up until 1:00pm. It was a rewarding experience and we were surprised at how many kids were really into making these collages.<br /> <br /> Our Local also donated scooters for the kids. All very happy recipients.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Michelle Poole&rsquo;s daughter Aris Mendoza for coming up with the idea and to Michelle&rsquo;s sister Dorina Poole and Aris&rsquo; boyfriend Rickey Larke for helping with the booth. Without their help it would not have been such a success.</p> <p><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Committees/IMG_0850.jpg" style="margin: 10px; width: 30%; height: 30%;" title="" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Committees/IMG_0923.jpg" style="margin: 10px; width: 30%; height: 30%;" title="" /></p> <p><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Committees/IMG_0896.jpg" style="margin: 10px; width: 30%; height: 30%;" title="" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 1065Stamp Out Hunger Food Drivehttps://www.ialocal871.org/About-Us/Local-871-News/PostId/8/stamp-out-hunger-food-driveCommunity Services,VolunteerTue, 25 Apr 2017 22:06:20 GMT<h3>National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC)</h3> <p>Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive</p> <p><br /> Saturday, May 13, 2017</p> <p>This food drive is the world&rsquo;s largest one-day food drive, taking place in more than 10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.&nbsp; Every year, IATSE members volunteer to help sort the massive amounts of donations that come in.<br /> <br /> <strong>Donating</strong><br /> All you do is place a bag of unopened, non-perishable food next to their mailbox before your letter carrier delivers the mail on Saturday, May 13th, and the carrier will do the rest.<br /> <br /> <strong>Volunteering</strong><br /> See the flyer below for info on how to participate in the IATSE Volunteer day on <strong>May 20! </strong><br /> &nbsp;</p> <div style="text-align: center;"><strong>***If you are an 871 member and plan to volunteer, please RSVP to <a href="mailto:Virginia@ialocal871.org?subject=RSVP%20-%20Stamp%20Out%20Hunger%20May%2020" target="_blank">Virginia@ialocal871.org</a><a href="mailto:virginia@ialocal871.org?subject=Food%20Drive%20Volunteer!">.</a>***</strong></div> 8
