I. AFM/LOCAL 802
The AFM is buying a Building in southern Manhattan, It is reportedly
almost an entire floor, described as a condo. Considering the membership
of the Federation has gone down to 60,000 from 100,000 in the last ten
years, is this a smart investment?
Till recently the AFM has been renting.

Local 802
A member noticed one contractor for Jewish weddings was doing
a lot of them, and was never billed for them because there was
no billing procedure.
Now they’re telling the members who played those weddings they
owe 5 years or more of fees, after the fact.
nice…
Meanwhile,
AFM raising the dues Locals have to pay to the AFM, is driving
a lot of smaller locals to close and causing them to be absorbed
by those locals that are left.
