    From the Desk of President Tom Quackenbush

    First and foremost, on behalf of myself, the Executive Board, and our entire
    Staff, we would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas,
    and a Happy and Healthy New Year!

    This past year, we had a record year of fundraising for our Teamsters Care
    program. We had 53 scholarship recipients, and we were able to help countless
    members in need. We were able to give to many charitable organizations in our
    communities who help so many in need.

    Again, I thank our Teamsters Care Board of Directors and all of our volunteers
    for their efforts.

    I would be remiss if I did not mention our great sponsors that contribute to our
    program. Without their sponsorship of our events, our Teamsters Care program would not be the success that it is. We ask, whenever possible, please consider them for your needs because they believe in Unions and they believe in us!

    In closing, look for our Scholarship Application in the Spring and if
    you know of a member in need, please reach out to me with a formal request at
    Tquackenbush@teamsterslocal294.org.

    Teamsters Local 294 CDL Training School

    Our CDL training is supported in part from grants we receive on a year to year basis. We want to thank the NYS Department of Labor and the Workforce Development Institute (24 Fourth Street, Troy, NY 12180) for their Grants in recent years. Without their support our training would be minimal. Teamsters Local 294 Training School was licensed by the Commissioner of New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, in September of 1999. Local 294's Executive Board and Instructors are committed to providing our members and their families with a comprehensive commercial driving program for Teamsters by Teamsters. Our focus is to educate our brothers and sisters to give them the ability and confidence necessary to upgrade their skills to further their careers, while providing the industry with the best trained drivers available. By the nature of our program, students will also learn a bit of Teamster history and to understand the goals of our union. As students develop the driving skills necessary for the CDL class A or class B road test they also get more intimately aware of union officials, duties, and facts versus myths about our union. We feel this education is second to none when you compare us to other driving schools. The knowledge you will gain about the union is a bonus you won't get anywhere else. We encourage anyone interested in Class A or Class B training to call and get on the waiting list.

    Call (518)489-5436 for more information.
