Calling ALL Teamsters to Notice

Teamsters Local 340, through its Women’s Committee, is heading up a state wide food drive to benefit the Catholic Charities of Maine in Caribou, which services the entire Aroostook County Food Pantries.

The truck will start off in Kittery on July 17th and head north to Presque Isle to participate in the Maine Potato Blossom Parade on July 18th that ends a weeklong festival that has been around since 1937, the same year the Teamsters of Maine were founded. 

Northern Maine is in great need of our help and with close to 4000 members we should be able to make a difference in the lives of our “County” neighbors.  Along the route Teamsters will be stopping at designated units to load and fill the truck.

Please check your lunchrooms for a box noted Teamsters Food Drive.  Your willingness to drop off a non-perishable food item will be greatly appreciated.

If you live in the “County” or looking for a place to visit the Maine Potato Blossom Festival starts on July 11th and runs through July 19th.  For more information; go to the following website http://fortcc.org/?page_id=20.

Your participation is one way the Teamsters can give back to our northern Maine communities in the middle of such trying times.

Fraternally

James E. Carson, President
