| On the logo for Local 767, it says "Painters and Allied Trades." It's kind of nice to think of everyone as "allied trades." If we did, it could really change the way things work. |

| Two union persons from West Sacramento who signed Local 250 postcards in support of the Cottonwood Health Center workers. There were a lot of people from West Sacramento at this picnic, including the mayor and several persons running for city council. And then they have that ballot measure about the port of West Sacramento...... |

| I lobbied heavily for this photo not to here, but I lost, so I will use this space to thank Mary (Zeppa) Gale for loaning me this hat when it appeared that I would be burnt to a crisp by the sun. Mary and Manny Gale are two people that I see every year (well, both of the years) at this event, and their participation in both political action and the arts is very swell! |

Jim Hard (SEIU Local 1000) and Morgan Gay (organizer, SEIU local 250). Walking behind them is a woman who is running for city council in West Sacramento and who, based on a brief conversation, appears to be an excellent person earnestly working to improve the world. I guess you could say that of everyone in this picture, so I will. |
