Retirees club gets name change, plans events for 2010
The Joint Board retirees club, which has been known since its founding in 1984 as the Amalgamated Retirees Organization, has changed its name to better reflect both its current status and the Board’s.
The new, official name is the Workers United Retirement Organization, which will more casually be referred to simply as (WRO). The club meets the second Tuesday of the month at the Union Hall in Rochester for its regular meetings, many of which feature speakers or special programs.
