UAW SWFL Retiree Council May Meeting
Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 11:00 am
Greetings!
It's that time of year! Our May meeting will be our last meeting of the season.
Cindy Stachowski will talk about the WEX Card and social security/COLA increases and how to get refunded for them.
Joe would like to thank everyone for their monetary and food/non-perishable donations for the food drive for the Harry Chapin Food Bank. This is the last month to collect for this season. We will start back up in September.
Dave Ramos will be playing Taps in memory of Memorial Day and all our fallen brothers and sisters who sacrificed their lives for us.
Our annual Pizza Party will take place AFTER the meeting.
Important! If you have any questions regarding any health bills you may have, i.e. medical, dental, optical, etc., please plan to arrive at least 45 minutes before the meeting so that you can meet with either Joe, Jim or Cindy. Remember to bring all pertinent documents or information with you. We will do our best to address the issues prior to the start of the meeting.
We hope everyone has a very happy, safe, and healthy summer! We hope to see everyone back in September.
We also hope to see everyone at the meeting!
