Quilts of Valor & Pink Ribbon Girls

Tuesday,  April  30,  2024

Brothers, Sisters, and Local Leaders,

The OAPFF needs your help. A group of amazing women that make quilts for an organization called Quilts of Valor had an idea. They wanted to partner with the OAPFF to raise funds for Quilts of Valor and Pink Ribbon Girls by auctioning off quilts made from fire department/union shirts. Last year this group of women made over 50 quilts and presented them to Quilts of Valor.

The Pink Ribbon Girls is an organization that provides services to women with breast and gynecological cancer. In 2018 the OAPFF made a resolution to give support to the Pink Ribbon Girls.

When this group of amazing women wanted to work with us to raise funds for these two organizations, we were all in! Their idea is to make quilts out of fire department t-shirts that would then be auctioned off and the proceeds would be split between the Pink Ribbon Girls and Quilts of Valor.

We are looking for gently used/new:

Fire department/union cancer awareness shirts
Fire department/union Saint Patrick’s Day shirts
Normal fire department/union shirts

If you have any of these that you can donate, we are asking that you send them to:

Jon D.Harvey
140 E. Town St. Suite 1225
Columbus, Ohio 43215

If you have questions about shirt donations please email me at [email protected].


Be Safe, Be Union, Be United.

Windfall Elimination Period UPDATE 4/17/2024

Sunday,  June  30,  2024

WEP/GPO Hearing Marks Continued Progress on Priority Advocacy Goal

4/17/2024 NARFE and its allies continue to make considerable progress in our ongoing efforts to repeal the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). In response to continually growing support for the bill to repeal WEP and GPO, H.R. 82, the House Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security held a hearing on Tuesday, April 16 in the Rayburn House Office Building. NARFE National President William �Bill� Shackelford submitted testimony for the record in advance of the hearing, which focused on live testimony from various think tanks. All members can view a recording to the hearing at https://waysandmeans.house.gov. You can submit your own written statement for consideration by the committee and inclusion in the official hearing record. Utilize our sample comment and personalize it to reflect your own unique experiences about how the WEP/GPO has affected you.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vn1kbG3urWvnPXacuM8427jb_CJXyPzk/view

FOP:
The WEP bill currently has 313 co-sponsors ( HR 82 ) and the senate version ( SB597 ) has 53 co-sponsors. Would you believe that Speaker Mike Johnson and Sen. Chuck Schumer both signed on as co-sponsors. Of course the bill is still sitting in committee. There is a lot of pressure on them by government workers and retirees to repeal the law. Mike Turner, J.D.Vance, and Sherrod Brown all signed on to repeal the WEP. (Brown actually introduced the original bill in the senate.)
