The Oregon Fair Trade Coalition is hosting a free town hall on Thursday, Aug. 10, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Portland office of Oregon AFSCME, 6025 E. Burnside . to discuss themat- ter. Learn about the unfolding NAFTA politics in its renegotiation period in the Trump era. See how a NAFTA renegotiation is a critical time for heeding the longtime de- mands of labor, environmental, and pro-democracy groups — re- garding a NAFTA legacy that is damaging and ongoing (and threat- ening to get worse).

Mark your calendars for Saturday, Oct. 7, when the non-profit Unions for Kids hosts a Texas Hold ’em poker tournament . The event will be held at the IBEW Local 48 hall in Northeast Portland. Proceeds will go to Dornbecher Children’s Hos- pital and Labor’s Community Serv- ice Agency. Unions for Kids was formed in 2003 by IBEW Local 48 members Lee and Kathy Duncan, Jerry Bruce, and Luigi Serio. With a 16-person volunteer board of di- rectors from various unions, U4K operated an annual motorcyle poker run. In 2005, it started a raffle for a new Harley Davison motor- cyle. Selling a limited number of tickets, the winner was drawn at the end of the poker run. Over a 12- year period, the organization do- nated $465,000 to Doernbecher. When the Duncans retired in 2014, the motorcyle poker run was dis- continued, though Unions for Kids maintained its non-profit status. Earlier this year, Joe Harris, a union rep for Sheet Metal Workers Local 16, agreed to assume the reins as president. Former U4K treasurer Rob Williamson — recently retired from IBEW and United Workers Federal Credit Union — stepped in as vice president; Emmy Keever, a secretary at Local 16 and member of Office and Professional Employ- ees Local 11, took over as treasurer, and Brooke Robinson-Hoffmann came in as the secretary. The resur- rected Unions for Kids is starting out with a Texas Hold’em poker tournament, but who know where it will lead. The U4K website says it welcomes any and all ideas on ways to raise money for Doern- becher and LCSA. For more information about the poker tournament, go to unions- forkids.org, or contact Harris at jharris@smw16.org; Keever at ekeever@smw16.org, or call 503- 254-0123.
