Dear PARA Member,

The Port Authority has assembled some 70 employees to assist directly in Puerto Rico's disaster relief effort. This group is scheduled to leave for Puerto Rico on Wednesday, October 11.

The PA asked PARA if we would reach out among our community to see if we could help by asking for volunteers: specifically, four (4) electricians and five (5) welders who would be willing and able to work with the PA's staff, and to leave for Puerto Rico on October 11 and return on Wednesday, October 25.

The PA's Director of the Office of Emergency Management, Gerald (Jerry) McCarty, is leading this PA effort. Anyone who is interested should contact Jerry directly.

Here is his contact information:

What is PARA?
The Port Authority Retirees Association (PARA), a not-for-profit corporation, was formed in 1989 to promote the welfare of retirees of the Port Authority (and PATH). That is accomplished by Paras acting as spokesperson for Port Authority retirees. We foster and encourage legislation that maintains or improves our circumstances primarily as it affects the pensions of the New York State Retirement System. PARA now has some 4,100 members residing in 39 states and 12 countries. PARA maintains an active affiliation with the Alliance of Public Retiree Organizations (APRO) representing more than 350,000 members throughout New York State.
