Increasing Our ALIVE Awareness in 2009

(Alaska Labor Independent Voter Education)

 

Over the last year, Local 959 received numerous requests to modify the current Political Action Committee fundraising process known as our ALIVE drawing, making it easier for members to participate in the process.

 

Each year, an ALIVE raffle is held that awards $25,000 in cash prizes and $25,000 is contributed for political action (political campaigns and donations to candidates), which helps Local 959 achieve goals important to our members and the labor community in general.  (By law, members’ dues money cannot be used for political purposes.)

 

The year 2009 begins with a new and innovative way for members to participate and contribute to our ALIVE fund, while at the same time continuing the past practice of selling and buying raffle tickets for the drawing. 

 

As a member of Teamster local 959, you now have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets through payroll deduction by your employers, instead of paying a lump sum of $100 for a single ticket. Tickets will continue to be available for individual purchase for members and non-members alike who wish to participate in the drawing.  (Please click here to view the Voluntary Check-off Authorization form.)

 

Here are the rules: For every $100 a member contributes through the new payroll deduction plan, members will receive one raffle ticket that gives you a chance at winning $25,000!  With a maximum of 1,000 tickets released per drawing, your odds increase with every ticket you buy and you have the entire year to build up your ticket allocation with minimal out of pocket expense!

        

Members interested in signing up for this new program should contact a shop steward or business representative or call ALIVE Representative Tim Morgan at (907) 565-8248 for more information.

Stay involved in your community, your local union, your state, and your nation!  Sign up for the ALIVE payroll deduction today.
