For 75 years!
Making spirits bright(er) in Salem
Norman Sylvester and Friends entertained several hundred youngsters, parents, and
grandparents Dec. 5 at a holiday party hosted by the Marion-Polk-Yamhill Counties Labor
Chapter. The event — funded by local unions and unionized businesses in the commu-
nity — celebrated its 75th year. The party is held at the historic Elsinore Theatre in down-
town Salem. This year, children sang holiday songs with Sylvester, a member of Musicians
Local 99, watched a movie, and met Mr and Mrs. Claus (played by Jack Rusen of Albany
Steelworkers Local 6163 and his
wife). Afterward, everyone re-
ceived a goody bag filled with
union-made products purchased
at unionized Fred Meyer.
