ATU 757 FORMS OFFICIAL "BLACK CAUCUS"

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce ATU757 Black Caucus Officers:

President - Rose Jordan
Vice President - Leonard Lamberth
Secretary - Luerine Jackson
Treasurer - Christopher Day

On April 23rd, 2011 ATU757 Black Caucus members elected the above to represent the membership. The four of us are working hard to assure a successful Caucus and are taking steps to consistently improve our membership. We will be sending more information about events and activities as we have the information available. We are also working on our website to give you a strong resource to communicate. Currently the website is still under construction and does not have much to offer. We are working on improving this and many changes will take place as we improve. Please feel free to keep checking on the website and let us know what you think of it. The website is located at http://www.atu757bc.org. In time you will be able to securely sign into the site and have access to many communication tools. At this time the only features available is the Calendar and the "Call Me". The Calendar is a Google Calendar that we will be maintaining to keep you advised of all events important to our membership. The "Call Me" is a special feature that will allow you to enter your name and phone number so that Google can call your phone and connect you to an officer. This feature gives you the freedom of getting access to talk with an officer directly.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us.

TriMet blames distracted parent in stranding

James says he'll accept some of the blame, but TriMet needs to do a better job of educating cyclists about rules.
It should be the cyclist's responsibility to know the rules. They're not hard to find. It shouldn't be TriMet's responsibility.
