Margo Brenes, long-time Guild membership coordinator, celebrated 40 years of union membership Tuesday.

In 1974, Brenes began her career at the Newspaper Printing Company during the 2 for 1 circulation campaign. She worked in various circulation jobs until she landed in the paper’s credit department in 1977.  In 1992, former Guild executive officer Doug Cuthbertson hired Brenes to help with membership.

”I literally grew up at the paper,” Brenes said, “and it was like family. . . I met my husband there, and my brother and sister met their spouses there.”

We honor Brenes for keeping it in the family all these years.  Congratulations!
