Moving expenses, assistance in locating and securing housing may be a great place to start if those are affordable. <br /><br />As far as the NANC, it has nothing to do with the merger, we discovered that there were others that did not receive their invitations. As a result of this mixup, there were fewer delegates at the Conference. <br /><br />Some of our GCC/IBT Local Officers chose not to come to Arizona due to the Arizona Governor's Immigration Legislation; the Teamsters Officers that were invited have been instructed not to attend specifically for that reason, but also reported not receiving their invitations either. <br /><br />John Heffernan, President, 2N New York, hosted this years conference and with several thousand dollars seed money, committed to hosting it again next year in Scottsdale. <br /><br />I doing o.K. health wise, my heart is the lesser of my health concerns. Humpty Dumpty was in better shape than I am right now! I had a full left knee replacement in 2007 and as soon as I can get my other knee replaced, my condition should improve, I hope, there are never any guarantees. My Doctors and I will then address my back and neck issues. <br /><br />I think that covers it Brother Benito, I hope to see you soon and with some luck, maybe have some of our former members GO WEST!
