On behalf of myself, the Officers, Executive Board and Staff of IUOE, Local 793, I would like to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Easter.

Easter is a time to celebrate new beginnings, hope and renewal. This spring has brought everyone a sense of relief as we see the signs of recovery from the pandemic.

Let’s continue to support each other throughout the upcoming year and reflect upon a quote from Pope Francis’ 2022 Easter message: “Peace is possible; peace is a duty; peace is everyone’s primary responsibility.”

Have a safe and enjoyable Easter weekend.
