2005 Supporters & Sponsors

    I'd like to personally thank each of you for your support.  Without you, OCC
    would not have been the remarkable success it was.  Your local should be
    very proud for backing this worthwhile cause and for what the labour
    movement has collectively accomplished!

    I would be remiss if I did not recognize the special efforts of these Brothers

    Thank You - Thank You - Thank - You

    All the members of CEP local 247 who volunteered their time, collected,
    stored, organized and delivered the food to the picket lines.  Kelli Flora in
    Oregon and Susan Cooksey in Washington D.C.  They spread the cheer to
    our Brothers and Sisters in the United States

    Heather Mc Michael of OPSEU local 102 in London – she rallied all her
    OPSEU Brothers and Sisters in SW Ontario.  Ed Cashman of PSAC in
    Ottawa, who at the eleventh hour drummed up an incredible amount of
    support from his locals in Ontario.

    Peter Boyle of USW local 343, the Kingston District Labour Council and the
    OFL.  He spreads the cheer and keeps people informed of important issues
    better than anyone I know!  Without his support last year, there would be no
    Operation Cheer.

    AIL Canada – Rick Altig and Debbie Enstedt who without hesitation
    wholeheartedly supported Operation Cheer from day one and encouraged
    me to focus on coordinating labours efforts.
