Hundreds of members of Teamsters Local 445 gathered in late September for the annual ritual of our Family Picnic. The wide variety of foods and salads kept everyone at the buffet tables, and the crowd enjoyed dancing and even some karaoke! Meanwhile, the kids were treated to special activities, and dozens of prizes that included several bicycles. The picnic is a benefit for the Teamsters Local 445 Scholarship Fund in honor of Douglas L. McCauley. 

     Leading the picnic committee was Vice-President/BA Cindy Garlinghouse, helped by her dedicated committee people Scott Andrejeski, Frank Arndt, Theresa Cowton, Mike D’Orsi, and John Lau. 

     The long line of sponsors included The Hudson Valley Renegades, Gigi’s Pizza, Greenbaum and Gilhooley’s Restaurant, Newburgh Auto Spa, Lia Sophia, Teamsters Local 812, Washingtonville Auto Parts, Loughran’s Restaurant, Cohen Milstein Sellers and Toll PLLC, Anna’s Restaurant, Merrill Lynch, the Contractors Association of Rockland County, Bella Luna Restaurant, Washingtonville Soccer Shop, Summit Actuarial Services, Theresa’s Hands and Nails, Stacy Braun Associates, Johnston Illington Advisors, Milliman, HGK Asset Management, Wright Investors, MSPC, Systematic MGT, and Dive Master Services. A big thanks to the committee, and to the picnic’s sponsors, for another very successful family time.
