wa State Fairgrounds. We would like to have the biggest group there to show the strength
of Union Labor and I.B.E.W. Local #347!
After the parade, join us for a picnic at Union Labor Park: 4602 Morningstar Drive. Direc-
tions: Off of Euclid Avenue, go north onto 12th Street. 12th Street turns into Morningstar

Happy Labor Day Brothers and Sisters,
I’m not sure if everyone knows but one of our Labor Day floats was stolen from the
Union Halls parking lot. Myself and Jason Ballard took a day off of work and went
to pick up a new trailer and the material to build the seating for the float. Jason was
gracious enough to let us build the float at his home. We got a lot accomplished that
first day. The following Monday Rick Chumbley, Jake Anderson, Mike Jones, Dal-
las Goslar and Matt Nelson helped finish up the float. Without their hard work we
would have a hard time getting everything done.
I hope everyone plans on coming out to the Labor Day parade. It was voted on sev-
eral months ago to spend $5,000.00 dollars on candy so make sure that you attend
and help give it out. After the parade there will be lots of fun activities for the kids
at the Labor park.
We will need help getting the Jolly Holiday lighting displays all set up at the new
site. The new location is at Adventureland’s camp grounds. We will be working
on this around the first of November.
Work in our area remains very strong with 525 travelers working in our jurisdic-
tion. We owe them a huge thanks for coming to our area and helping us man the
work that we have, so thanks to all the Brothers and sisters that have traveled to
Local #347’s jurisdiction.
The International convention will be held in St. Louis in September. I’m really
looking forward to going. There will be a lot of important business taken care of
at the convention, I will report on that next month.
In Solidarity
