Spirit of Solidarity Labor Monument

It’s not too late to purchase a brick for the Labor Monument.  Forms are available at the hall.  Cost is $100 now, but once they start printing them, the cost will go up.  The Executive Board purchased a brick honoring Leonard Woodcock.  The dedication for this labor monument will be sometime this fall.
