\n

As with many holidays, the members of our hard-working union family help make Valentine\u2019s Day happen for members of their communities and people across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

One example is Rob Peters, a member of UFCW Local 1776 and a Wine Specialist at Fine Wine & Good Spirits store 4646 in Ardmore, Pa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cWhen it comes to Valentine\u2019s Day, I always recommend sparkling wine because it is popular, versatile and celebratory, i.e. \u2018pop the cork,\u2019\u201d he said.  \u201cSparkling wine can be used at any time before, during or after dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

There are many varieties of sparkling wine, but Rob recommends sparkling wines from California, Prosecco from Italy, or the classic: champagne from France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

On the West Coast, Becky S. at See\u2019s candy has been a member of UFCW Local 5 since 2002. Now an assistant store manager, Becky\u2019s experience is put to good use during one of her store\u2019s busiest times of year\u2013Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cWe serve anywhere from 200 to 600 people a day,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Despite the hectic work day, Becky always has a smile on her face. For folks looking to buy a sweet treat for a special someone this Valentine\u2019s Day, Becky recommends getting one of See\u2019s pre-filled 1-pound heart boxes if you\u2019re in a hurry, or using their handy candy menu (also found at sees.com<\/a>) to hand select each individual chocolate inside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great idea to purchase one of our beautiful 1-pound boxes because they are reusable and you can bring them in again next year,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
UFCW members also have access to exclusive discounts for Valentine\u2019s Day. You can save 25 percent on flowers and gifts from Teleflora. Get more information here<\/a> and make someone\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day special.<\/h5>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
