2007 AN INNOVATIVE NEW RETIREE WEBSITE CREATED ON INTERNET

A new Retiree News Web publication named “Retiree Paradise,” was launched on November 15, 2006 by APWU of Florida State Retiree Chapter to serve over 3,000 APWU of Florida State Retiree Chapter retiree dues paying members and their families residing in the State of Florida zip code 320 thru 349 and wherever they move out of state.

New policies grandfathered in from the National APWU Retirees Department implemented in October, 2006 require that any APWU Retiree member paying $24.00 year or $2.00 month to the National APWU Retirees Department in Washington, D.C. must be listed as a Chapter member from the APWU Local Union they were a member of prior to retirement from the U.S. Postal Service, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE IN THE WORLD!

The only exception in the future would be if they requested in writing to be transferred to a Retiree Chapter in the state where they have moved to, such as Florida!

Jack Gose, President of the State Retiree Chapter, is the first Editor of the new website. The State Retiree Chapter Constitution & By-Laws address the need for a Retiree Editor to communicate and share information with APWU active and retiree members and their families, and the website was created FREE online using Blogger Beta at www.retireeparadise.blogspot.com !
