Local 117 shows ‘What Teamsters Look Like’
Like James Borum, a truck driver for Sysco, who raised money to help a co-worker buy cancer treatment equipment.
Like Suzette Dickerson, who worked hard at the King County Prosecutors’ office, then volunteered both as a track coach and at her son’s many school activities.
Like Cid Avellaneda, a USB route salesman, who came here from Peru and now fosters needy children from other countries and takes his family on missions to orphanages.
Like Silvia Washington, who came here from Germany, adopted and raised four children on her own, and who now trains sled dogs when she’s not busy working for the Department of Corrections.
Local 117 is urging its members to help recognize and thank fellow Teamsters who work hard, then give back as scout troop leaders, coaches, musicians, artists, civic leaders, community and church volunteers, foster parents, firearms safety instructors, trail maintenance volunteers, after-school tutors, animal rescue volunteers, and so on…
