Brothers and Sisters,
I need to bring to your attention that Brother Nate Schaber has been hurt in a motorcycle accident and will be off work.

For those of you who do not recognize Nate, he has been a member with our Local since August 2013. Thank you in advance for your generosity and compassion for our brother Nate.
