Labor Day Picnic (ODOT Style)

SEIU 503,

Thanks to phenomenal service and support, we had a wonderful and successful Labor Day picnic. This year we decided to grill food in our area of the park for those SEIU Members and their families in attendance. Over 900 people were served hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad, chips and sodas.

Because of the generosity of ODOT Local 730, Homecare Workers Union Local 99, Oregon Commission for the Blind Local 585, NWREL Local 905, some lucky members received prize gift cards, totaling $470.00, for Gas, Groceries, Home/Hardware, and Household goods. I would also like to extend thanks and apologies to those Locals who wished to make donations but (due to no fault of their own) were unable to do so.

I extend the utmost appreciation to Tammy McGee, Kermit Meling, Dennis Wineburg, (All members of ODOT Local 730) as well as their families (and mine!) who gave up their Holiday to staff this wonderful event!

Regards,
Jason Kramer
