TWU Local 100 members and officers filled the Electrical Industry Center in Queens on Saturday to celebrate our Indian Day. The program featured music and dancing, and greetings from prominent politicians including Congresswoman Grace Meng and the Indian Consulate’s Head of Chancery, L. T. Ngaihte. Top Local 100 officials including TWU Local 100 Secretary-Treasurer Earl Phillips and Recording Secretary LaTonya Crisp-Sauray were also in attendance and enjoyed the delicious Indian food. After the singing of the Indian National Anthem and the Star Spangled Banner, a moment of silence for fallen transit workers was followed by the ceremonial lighting of the lamp to begin the festivities.
