MAY 15 – 70 TWU women and family walked through Central Park in an energetic contribution to the fight against AIDS. The event was held under the auspices of 100 Women, a committee of rank and file members and officers which has been formed to promote women’s issues in transit. Emmanuella Mathurin, Exec Assistant to Recording Secretary LaTonya Crisp-Sauray, told a videographer covering the massive event Sunday that the Union wants greater awareness of AIDS and the importance of identifying the disease early and expanding prevention outreach. The TWU’s contingent was a spirited part of the 30,000 strong walk, which raised $4.5 million for the fight against AIDS. Representing MaBSTOA were members and officers including 4th Vice Chair Terrence Harmon. From Private Lines, officers included Orlando Pabon. Also part of the TWU group was Nicole Hecker, Acting Director of the MTA NYCT Child Care Fund, and Will Smith of the Union’s PAC Department. NYCT Buses and Trains, as well as our Westchester School Bus members, were all represented.
