volunteer to help
‘Paint the Community’
20 UNION MEMBERS FROM 11 UNION LOCALS TAKE PART. Women-led
home repair teams spent the day June 23 sprucing up homes at Mobile
Home Corral in Beaverton. In 98 degree weather, volunteers painted,
weatherproofed, repaired, and landscaped four homes owned by elderly
and/or disabled residents. Rebuilding Together Washington County coor-
dinated the event, partnering with Labor’s Community Service Agency,
Oregon Tradeswomen Inc. (OTI turned out 10 volunteers), and 100 Strong.

Carpenters Local 1503, and Banuelos is a member of Laborers Local 737
who is preparing to enter the Operating Engineers Local 701 apprentice-
ship program. In the photo right, Stephanie Cook, a member of IATSE Local

of our most vulnerable neighbors,” said LCSA Executive Director Eryn Byram.
