We had a fantastic time at the Local 394 Annual Cookout! The weather held up beautifully, and everyone enjoyed a breezy, fun day. The kids playing, folks dancing, the DJ's were jamming, and everyone relaxing together. It was a great time to socialize and enjoy each other's company. Next year, we're planning to bring even more ideas and activities for our members and their families. We look forward to making it even better. That you for making it special!!!!!

We’re excited to launch the District Council 33 Lapel Pin Design Contest!
We know our members have children with incredible talent, creativity, and imagination — and now we’re giving them a chance to shine. We’re inviting the dependents of DC33 members, ages 20 and under, to design a brand new lapel pin that our Council delegates will proudly share at AFSCME International Conferences across the country.
This is their moment to show off their skills, celebrate AFSCME pride, and leave their mark on our union’s history.
All the details on how to submit entries are on the flyer. We can’t wait to see what our young artists create. Good luck to all!
