The Auxiliary to the APWU celebrated 100 years of service to the members this August at our national convention. The Auxiliary is open to all friends, family members and retirees who are sponsored by an APWU member. Their good works include supporting community programs, scholarships, legislative aid, and so much more. If you or your family members and friends aren’t already a member please consider joining. You can sign-up at http://www.apwuauxiliary.org or contact the local union hall.

The Portland Oregon Area Local is proud to have a strong local Auxiliary Chapter led by President Maggie Hopwood. They are vital to our success as a local organization and we are stronger because of their involvement. The Portland Oregon Areal Local pays for and sponsors all our retirees for their first year membership in the Auxiliary.

I was honored to have been asked to take the photographs of the officers of the National APWU Auxiliary Officers at our recent national convention.
