A scavenger hunt for chil-
dren ages 1 to 18 will be
presented by Labor’s Com-
munity Service
A g e n c y
(LCSA). Par-
ticipants will
use clues found
in a “passport”
to find various
unions at the
picnic. For example, a clue
might be: “We are the
union that delivers your
mail six days a week.” An-
swer: National Association
of Letter Carriers. Partici-
pants must find the NALC
picnic site (look for sig-
nage) and have their pass-
ports stamped there.
Children can pick up
passports at LCSA’s booth
at the picnic starting at 10
a.m. Once they obtain the
required num-
ber of stamps,
kids return
their passport
to the LCSA
booth, where
they will be el-
igible for a
drawing to win a bicycle
(donated by the Interna-
tional Longshore and
Warehouse Union). All
participants get union-
made cookies, provided by
Franz Bakery, whose em-
ployees are represented by
Bakers Local 114. For
more information, call
LCSA at 503-231-4962.
