Eastern Maine Labor Council Labor Day Celebration

Solidarity Center 20 Ivers Street, Brewer, Maine

Eastern Maine Labor Council and Food AND Medicine invite you and your union members to join us on Monday, September 4, 2023 from 4:30 to 7pm at the hall for our 20th Annual Labor Day Celebration.

We'll grill burgers from a local farm, red hot dogs, and local corn on the cob. Bring your favorite salad, side or dessert for a delicious and always fun potluck.

Listen to speakers (TBA) talk about union victories and hard work over the past year and happening right now, and learn a bit more about the great work that Food AND Medicine is doing.

We'll be presenting the annual Dan Lawson Memorial Solidarity Award - the winner will be announced soon, so stay tuned.

Include your local in our ad booklet by letting me know what size ad you want to take, and get the ad copy to me by 8/18. See prices and sizes below; ad booklets are 8.5x11 and print in color. There's a suggested donation of $5/person at the door to help cover the cost of food; kids < 12 are free. All ads in the booklet come with tickets, which can also be donated as Solidarity Tickets.

Please let me know if you can make it, and if you know - how many people from your local and/or family will be with you. Hope to see you all there.

In solidarity,

Melissa Smith (she/her)

Secretary, Eastern Maine Labor Council, AFL-CIO
