Delegates and guests enjoyed German food and drink, live music and fellowship during the Labor Studies & Resource Center’s Oktoberfest fundraiser following the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation delegate meeting Oct. 8.

Donations for food and proceeds from raffles during the event benefited the LSRC’s Emergency Fund, which AFL-CIO Community Services liaisons use to provide assistance to union members facing financial crises, whether it’s help paying the energy bill, making the rent payment or purchasing work clothes for a new job.

Congratulations to Mary Sansom of Machinists Local 1833 (pictured at right), who won the drawing for the Wall of Beer. Thanks to everyone who contributed a case of beer to build the wall – and to everyone who helped us raise money for an important cause!
