TACOMA — The 44th annual Pa-
cific Northwest Labor History Associ-
ation (PNLHA) Conference will be
held May 18-20 at the Washington
State History Museum, 1911 Pacific
Ave., Tacoma.
The theme of this year’s conference
is “A Century of Bread and Roses” and
commemorates the 100th anniversary
of the Lawrence, Massachusetts, strike
in 1912 of 10,000 workers in the tex-
tile industry — mostly women and
many children.
Elaine Bernard, director of the La-
bor and Worklife Program at Harvard
Law School, will be the keynote
speaker Saturday morning, May 19.
The Friday evening conference
opener will feature Massachusetts folk
singers Karen Brandow and Charlie
King in “Occupy Lawrence: Bread and
Roses,” a word and music presentation
describing the century-ago event. King
and Brandow are well known to folk
music audiences.
PNLHA annually recognizes indi-
viduals and organizations with awards
at its conference banquet. This year’s
Bread and Roses Awards Banquet will
be held at the Hotel Murano on Satur-
day evening, March 19.

poker added to list

fundraising events
Unions for Kids is sponsoring its
first-ever Texas hold ’em Poker Tour-
nament Saturday, April 14, at Sheet
Metal Workers Local 16, 2379 NE
178th Ave., Portland. The event starts
at 6 p.m.
Unions for Kids is an all-volunteer
organization founded to raise funds for
Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. It
does so through a one-day motorcycle
poker run and chili cookoff. Its major
fundraiser is a raffle to win a Harley-
Davidson motorcycle. Tickets are $10
each with only 5,000 tickets sold. Since
its inception in 2003, Unions for Kids
has raised $271,000.
This year’s motorcycle poker run
and chili cookoff is Saturday, June 9,
starting and ending at IBEW Local 48,
15937 N.E. Airport Way, Portland. The
drawing for the motorcycle will be held
at 4 p.m.
The Texas hold ’em tournament is
another fun way to help raise more
money for the kids at Doernbecher. All
proceeds from the tournament will be
added to the overall contribution.
The goal is to attract 300 players.
Buy-in is $50, with one re-buy per per-
son. There also will be a $25 add-on
option. The number of payouts and
dollar amounts will be determined on
player turnout.
John Candioto, business manager of
Sheet Metal Workers Local 16, is co-
ordinating the poker tournament.
