2007 LABOR DAY PICNIC

The Western Trades & Labor Assembly and the Machinists Local Lodge 822 would like to welcome you and your family to its annual Labor Day Picnic for 2007. We are all here to have an enjoyable day filled with fellowship with our fellow union members and their families and food and games. We would like to let everyone know the rules and regulations for the eating lines and the games for today.

Soda is available in the machine inside and outside in the tubs for 25 cents a can. Beer is available outside for a donation of 50 cents per cup.

Lunch will start at 12:00pm, please have your gray lunch ticket available. All handicap people will be called to get in the eating line first, followed by retirees from all unions. If a retiree would like to eat with their family, they can fall in at the end of the regular retiree line with their family. After the retirees, we will then call for all other union members and their families to get in line. Everyone will file past the registering table (Jeannie Thomas) and give her your lunch and door prize ticket and she will get the amount of people you have with you and your Local union you are with and then give you your half of the ticket to keep for the door prizes that will be drawn later. If you need help with your plate or drink or for anything else, their will be kids available for your help, they will be announced before eating. After you are finished with your plates, please put them into the garbage cans provided.



Bingo will start at 2:00pm, with door prizes given away during bingo, with major door prizes given out at the end of bingo. Bingo cards and beans will be brought around to your table, so please do not go get them early. It will be announced. Please only (1) one bingo card per person. You must be inside when door prizes are being drawn, or leave your ticket with someone inside with your name on it to watch, as no-one will be outside calling out numbers.

Free Flavored Shave Ice drinks tickets are available for kids only, while supply last. Adults can purchase them one at the Ice stand for $1.25 each.

If anyone should have any suggestions or concerns of how we can make this fun filled day better for you and your family, at next years picnic, or you would like to volunteer for 2008 picnic, please write it down and give it to Jeannie at the registration desk. We will take all concerns and suggestions in consideration for next years picnic.
