How to Organize a Local Auxiliary
If your area does not have a local BLET auxiliary, but has an interest in
forming one, a petition may be submitted to the National President requesting a
Charter.
The Petition must contain at least ten (10) signatures, seven (7) of
which must be spouses, widows, widowers, daughters, sons (18 years or older),
mothers, or fathers of BLET members of the particular BLET Division the
auxiliary will be associated with. Membership
in an auxiliary is not limited to the associated BLET Division.
Once signatures have been gathered, the form needs to be verified by the
Secretary of the associate BLET Division.
The BLET Auxiliary has several auxiliaries that are not only city- or
area-wide, but also have more than one railroad Carrier.
While there may be times that issues addressed at meetings only involve
one Carrier, it provides better insight to all as to the different type of
problems that exist on the different railroads.
Of course, many issues have no Carrier boundaries and exist nationwide
affecting the quality of life, safety, security, and welfare of our locomotive
engineers and trainmen.
Once the Petition has been completed, please forward it to:
Mrs. Becky
B. Schneider
National President
BLET Auxiliary
515 W. Redd Road
El Paso, Texas 79932-1909
(915)
581-1373
together
with a check in the amount of $25.00.
Once a Charter has been authorized, a national representative will be
sent to formerly organize the auxiliary. The
auxiliary will receive three copies of the Constitution and Bylaws of the
Organization, as well as membership cards and pins, as soon as they become
available.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to call Becky
Schneider, or any other National Officer for assistance.
