Greetings, Union Siblings!

Mark your calendars and save the date, because we at the NW Oregon Labor Council, AFL-CIO are happy to announce the 2025 Labor Appreciation Dinner, to be held on Saturday, May 17, at the IBEW Hall, 15937 NE Airport Way in Portland.

This special evening has been held for more than a quarter century to honor our fellow union leaders who have made outstanding contributions to our labor community. The event is also a fundraiser for Labor’s Community Service Agency, which is, this year, celebrating its 50th anniversary providing aid to our labor community.

As previous attendees will attest, much merriment is involved in our annual event, with our silent auction and raffle in addition to our awards program. As we did last year, we will be offering a small selection of premium items for the raffle section of our program for which a person may bid, in addition to the open raffle of smaller items, as in past years. We will have a reception with live music, followed by a Mexican food buffet that was very well-received last year due to high quality and options for those with dietary considerations.

Net proceeds of this fun event benefit the LCSA’s labor assistance programs. We are selling individual tickets to the event for $55 as well as host table sponsorships for $500 (this is a discounted rate for a table of 10). You can purchase tickets online at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/2025-labor-appreciation-dinner .

We also gratefully accept donations for this worthy cause.

We look forward to seeing you May 17 and sharing in a night of festivities and solidarity.
