Greetings, Union Siblings! Mark your calendars and save the date, because we at the NW Oregon Labor Council, AFL-CIO are happy to announce the 2026 Labor Appreciation Dinner , to be held on Saturday, June 27 , at the IBEW Hall, 15937 NE Airport Way in Portland. This special evening has been held for more than a quarter century to honor our fellow union leaders who have made outstanding contributions to our labor community.  The event is also a fundraiser for Labor’s Community Service Agency, which is, this year, celebrating its 51st anniversary providing aid to our labor community. As previous attendees will attest, much merriment is involved in our annual event, with our silent auction and raffle in addition to our awards program. As we did last year, we will be offering a small selection of premium items for the raffle section of our program for which a person may bid, in addition to the open raffle of smaller items, as in past years. We will have a reception with live music, followed by a Mexican food buffet that was very well-received last year due to high quality and options for those with dietary considerations. Please keep an eye out soon for all the details ! We look forward to seeing you June 27 and sharing in a night of festivities and solidarity.

PBOT asked us to get the word out about their Local Transportation Funding Open Houses – beginning February 19 th .  In addition to one open house in each district, there will also be an online open house that can be accessed through the website link included in this email (the online open house will be live from February 19-March 6). As you are probably aware, PBOT faces significant budget and service cuts if they cannot find a way to increase funding. The meetings will provide opportunities for feedback on how to allocate additional revenue,  options for raising additional revenue, and how we ensure accountability.  PBOT is hoping to have city councilors as well as the Mayor attend many of the meetings and the feedback that they receive will be summarized for presentations to all of the Council in March/April. The flyer attached has the details on the open house dates and locations.  Attached is a link to PBOT's website that includes more information on the open house and a copy of PBOT's Alternative Funding Report - Local Transportation Funding – Join the conversation | Portland.gov
