Registration is open for Labor Bowl, the annual bowling fundraiser to benefit the St. Paul Labor Studies and Resource Center (LSRC), planned May 8 at Sun Ray Lanes in St. Paul. Shift times are 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Now in its 14th year, Labor Bowl raises funds for the Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation’s 501 (c) (c) charitable nonprofit organization, the LSRC, which assists and advocates for union members and their families in Chisago, Dakota, Ramsey and Washington counties.
The LSRC, through its Community Services work, connects union members and their families to community resources and assistance programs. The LSRC also partners with labor organizations to provide strike and layoff preparation training, community outreach and coalition building. By participating in Labor Bowl, you will be giving back to our community and supporting an organization that supports the work of organized labor.
For more information, or to schedule a time to bowl, call 651-222-3787, extension 117. Registration deadline is April 24.
