Young Machinists
bring Christmas
to foster teens
The Young Machinists group at
Machinists Local Lodge 63
helped brighten Christmas this
year for 128 teen-age foster kids
in East Multnomah County. The
group was organized two years
ago to get members ages 35
and under more involved with
their union. The group is com-
prised primarily of members
employed at Boeing Co.
Dubbed “Foster Care Christmas,”
the event was organized by
Scott and Beth Lacey and Local
63 President John Kleiboeker.
The Young Machinists coordi-
nate with caseworkers at the
Gresham Branch of the Oregon
Department of Human Services
to compile a list of “needs” and
“wants” specific to the foster
teens in their care. The Young
Machinists then go out and buy
presents for the teens, and in-
clude stockings filled with per-
sonal hygiene items and pencils,
pens, and stickers with the IAM
logo.
