Set Sail with Council 4 Retirees: Join Our 2026 Summer Luncheon Cruise in Gloucester

AFSCME Council 4 Retirees are invited to come together once again for a well-deserved day of camaraderie, relaxation, and celebration at the 2026 Summer Outing Luncheon Cruise in beautiful Gloucester, Massachusetts. On Wednesday, June 17, retirees will depart from Council 4 Headquarters in New Britain at promptly 8:00 AM, for a scenic day on the water, featuring a full luncheon buffet, fresh coastal air, and the opportunity to reconnect with fellow union members who have dedicated their careers to public service. With bus transportation provided at Council 4 Headquarters (boarding begins at 7:30 AM), and a thoughtfully planned itinerary, this outing offers a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

This annual tradition is more than just a trip—it’s a chance to honor the shared bonds and lasting legacy of our retirees. From a delicious menu featuring lobster, clam chowder, and classic summer favorites to time spent enjoying the views and each other’s company, the day promises both comfort and connection. Seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis, so members are encouraged to reserve early and secure their place for what is sure to be a memorable summer gathering.
