About Us
A Brief History
The New York City Retiree's Guild, established in 2015, serves as a collective voice for retired carpenters from nine local unions. It's a vibrant community that not only supports the interests of its members but also enriches their retirement through a variety of educational, community, and social events. The guild exemplifies the enduring spirit of unity and the value of staying active and connected within the community post-retirement. Members participate in the numerous events held throughout the year.
The club's purpose is to advance the shared interests of retirees from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters of America through the initiation and execution of educational, community, and social activities that engage its members.
Maintaining Ties and Apprentice Mentoring
The Guild plays a crucial role in fostering a sense of community and continuity among its members. By facilitating updates on relevant policies, ensuring open communication with the New York City District Council, and organizing social events, it helps maintain the rich tradition of Union Carpentry. This tradition is not only about building structures but also about building lives and communities, passing down valuable skills and knowledge through generations. The dedication of past members is honored, and the commitment to carry on their legacy is strong among current and future carpenters.
