Non-profit Unions for Kids
seeks ‘web guru’ to volunteer
Unions for Kids — the non-profit
organization that hosts the annual
Poker Run and Chili Cook-off
fundraiser for Doernbecher Children’s
Hospital while also promoting unions
as good neighbors in the community —
is seeking a volunteer web guru.
Steve Vidito, a member of Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical Work-
ers Local 48, has volunteered his ex-
pertise updating and maintaining the
website for a large portion of the 10
years that the organization has been in
existence. He announced that he will
retire from the committee later this
year.
“We recently celebrated our 10th
anniversary; we have donated well over
$300,000 to the kids since our incep-
tion; that certainly could not happen
without your generosity and a group of
committed volunteers,” said Unions for
Kids co-founder Lee Duncan, also a
member of Local 48.
Duncan said the non-profit is now
looking for a web master who can vol-
unteer between 100 to 200 hours a year
for the task of keeping the website up
to date, posting new events, and per-
forming and maintenance that might be
needed.
The website can be viewed at
www.unionsforkids.org. Anyone inter-
ested can call Duncan at 503-260-5905
or e-mail him at lee@unionsforkids.

Labor was the first price, the original purchase — money that was paid
for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labor, that all wealth
of the world was originally purchased.
