We hope that it will serve our members, new members, and visitors as a good source of information about our club. We hope to increase our events and activities in 2012 and extend a helping hand to all that seek one. We wish to contribute to and assist in building up our union and the organized Labor Movement. We wish to also reach out to the communities as union carpenters in the New York metropolitan area. Carpenters in New York City are underrepresented and are being exploited by non-union contractors.It is common knowledge that some non-union contractors tell their employees, that the UBC is an organization that doesn’t have Latino carpenters and will not welcome them. This of course is a damaging distortion of words and deeds. We encourage all unorganized carpenters to consider joining the United Brotherhood of Carpenters when given the opportunity. Brothers, sisters and visitors come one come all, the New York City and Vicinity Carpenters Latino Club welcomes you. The New York City Carpenters Latino Club has been involved in parades such as the National Puerto Rican Day Parade, Labor Day Parade, Hispanic Day Parade in Queens, Caribbean Day Parade in Brooklyn and Columbus Day Parade. The Carpenters Latino Club, as in the past, present and will be in the future promoting the United Brotherhood of Carpenters Labor Movement. Our club events are New York City 5 Boro Bike Tour for the Memorial Sloan Kettering Children’s Cancer Unit, annual Billiards Tournament, and Toys for Tots drive and more soon to come events. Our community service events include the donation of time and Labor by our Brothers and Sisters at the Davidson Community Center in the Bronx, the Juan Aponte Gym renovation, the Tatiana Community Center for Kids, the Music with a Message Youth Band Renaissance and The International Christian Center in Staten Island. We are currently working with the Habitat for Humanity for future upcoming projects. We want to thank all our members who have participated in the past events. Also like to thank our sponsors for their generous donations and support to all of our charities. We extend our hand to any charitable organizations that are in need of labor to please contact us at www.Ubclatinoclub.com. We also ask our members to bring new ideas and events to the Latino Club, and also join us in participating in our many events to help our club grow. Our goal is to secure our bonds and create new friendships. From the executive board of the New York City and Vicinity Carpenters Latino Club, we thank you. MotoThe Carpenters Latino Club aims to emphasize the importance of teamwork, unity and respect, among our Hispanic carpenters. We work to empower each member to achieve their full potential and have the opportunity to benefit from the education programs provided by the New York City District Council, the UBC and City College.
