Highlights

Every chapter has moments of which they are especially proud, and Chapter 247 is no exception. And of course, there are the candid moments...

National Training 2008, Austin, Texas

NTEU National President Colleen Kelley is serenaded by a mariachi band during the National Training Kickoff party in Austin. The celebration was sponsored by Chapter 247 along with fellow Texas Chapters 46, 52, and 72.

National Executive Vice President Frank Ferris sticks to the program: Free food, drink, and music, courtesy of NTEU's Texas Chapters.

How were we to know there was a party going on? 'Cause the Texas Chapters organized it!

Steward Dave Davis, Chief Steward Mike Bunton, and Stewards Melvin Tealer and Willie Hines toast the recent achievement of 75% membership for Chapter 247.

Grace is added to the party: Chapter 52's Chief Steward Bill Grace and his Grace-ful wife!

The formidable Stewards of Dallas' Chapter 46 attempt to commandeer the party and overwhelm the fierce competition of Austin's Chapter 247.

Facing all comers...in this corner... heavyweight Chapter 247!

NTEU National Executive Vice President Frank Ferris and Chapter 247 Chief Steward Mike Bunton finally give into the demands of the paparazzi. Just think of Vanity Fair and smile, guys!

National Vice President Jim Littlejohn (center, at table) closes his eyes and dreams of a warm, tropical-like place, where delicious Mexican food is served, and NTEU leaders gather in fellowship...Hey, wait a minute, Jim! Open your eyes!
