Welcome back to the second half of the
Maryland TelecomPioneer Year 2008. Paul Redline Please remember that many activities are still planned for the rest of 2008. Life Member luncheons are scheduled in each Region throughout the state. The annual meeting, in Ocean City, Maryland is September 26 through the 28, 2008 at the Dunes Manor Hotel. Registration forms are on page 3 and on our website. The Maryland Chapter also has many more events scheduled through the end of the year; please consult the Upcoming Events section of this newsletter .Verizon’s current work contract with the CWA Unions is due to expire at Midnight, August 2, 2008. The TelecomPioneer headquarters, in Denver, Colorado has determined that should a work stoppage occur, all TelecomPioneer activities will cease, until such time the Company and Union agree to terms. The Maryland Chapter will follow this guideline. Since nothing is certain, either way, I would encourage all Pioneer’s to go ahead and plan on attending any of our activities for the rest of the 2008 year. Any checks and reservations sent in for any function will be held and should a work stoppage occur, all checks will be immediately returned .If you would like to join the Maryland Chapter TelecomPioneers, please fill out the application and dues card on the website at: www.verizonmarylandpioneers.org/md_signup/membership_app.htm and return it to the Pioneer Office, 99 Shawan Road, Room G8, Cockeysville, Md. 21030. Dues are only $15.00 a year, which will be automatically deducted from your pay check at $1.25 per month. Your dues go a long way in supporting our educational programs in your children’s schools. If you have any questions, please call me on 410-382-8643 or e-mail me at: paul.redline@verizon.net Yours in Pioneering, Paul Redline – President Maryland Chapter - TelecomPioneers |

The Maryland Chapter TelecomPioneers are holding a Golf Ball Drop Fundraising event. It will take place at Maple Run Golf Course on Friday, September 12, 2008, in connection with our Annual Golf Tournament. The ticket price for each numbered ball is $5.00. On September 12th we will drop 500 or more golf balls from a bucket truck onto a putting green. The closest ball to the pin will win $500.00, the next 10 balls will win $50.00 each and the next 25 balls will win $25.00 each for a total of 36 winners. The prize money is based on the number of tickets sold, so the prizes could change. This fundraiser helps us fund our educational projects which include: Book’em: Maryland Chapter TelecomPioneers buy books from Scholastics and a Pioneer volunteer will go to a school and read to the class. After the reading, each student then receives a book of their own. Over the past 12 years we have given more than 270,000 books. Students under Construction: Maryland Chapter TelecomPioneers buy school supplies to set up a Pioneer Pantry in the school. The school will come up with one or two academic criteria that need help and the students receive pogs based on meeting the criteria. Once a month Pioneer volunteers go into the school and open up the Pantry, the students then shop for their school supplies with the pogs they have earned. To date we have 15 schools across the state with Pioneer Pantries. Your help is needed for these educational projects….so buy a golf ball….you could be a lucky winner. Use this link to purchase online tickets: http://www.verizonpioneers.org/Estore/MarylandGolfBallDrop2008.htmor send a check payable to MD Chapter Telecom Pioneers and mail to: Pioneer Office, 99 Shawan Rd., Rm G-8, Cockeysville, MD. 21030. The ticket will be mailed back to you. The Maryland Chapter TelecomPioneers thank you in advance for your participation.

November is Thank Your Elementary School (or Teacher) Month
If can’t go back to your school…… have you had a special teacher in your life or do you know a dedicated teacher now? Why not show your appreciation for their dedication by reading in their classroom during the month of November? The Pioneers will also give every child a new Scholastic book. Many programs around this time of the year require monetary donations. However, this only requires giving of your time. Most class readings require as little as an hour of your time but will make a lifelong impression on the children. All readers during the month of November will be entered into a contest and the winner will win $100 in books for the school or classroom library. Parents: During your Fall Back to School Parent- Teacher Conference, offer the teacher and other parents these two teaching aides that they may not be aware of: http://www.thinkfinity.org http://www.apples4theteacher.comBoth offer worlds of information for your children and their educators, both in and out of the classrooms. |
