Welcome to the Retiree's Club information page!
Check this page for meetings and activity information

  • The Ironworkers Retiree's Club was established by retired Ironworkers for the good and welfare of our retired membership.  This includes conducting informational meetings to address retiree issues and update our members on vital information in regards to retirement.  The meetings also serve as an opportunity to socialize with other retirees renewing old friendships and making new ones! 

  • Membership Requirements:  Any retired member or former member who is presently receiving a pension check from the Twin City Iron Workers Fringe Benefit funds or other Fringe Funds previous to the merger of Locals 793 and 563.

  • Meetings:  The Retiree's Club usually meets three times a year in Region A.  However, additional meetings may be scheduled as necessary.  Keep in mind the Retiree's Club does not meet in the winter months (January, February, and March).  Meetings dates will be announced by mail and on the Web Site.
