 Convention goers will work hard, learn a lot — and have fun
Every two years about 400 Council 2 members meet for the union's biennial convention. For more than two days they work hard and have some fun, too.
It's a time of planning for the future, learning more about how the union works, and enjoying camaraderie with fellow union members.

When it's over they take back with them to the workplace a renewed commitment to join their fellow workers in ensuring they continue to receive all the benefits that derive from being union members.
They carry with them, too, a greater understanding of how the system works and of how they can be more effective.
And they bear with them, too, happy memories of their time together.This year Council 2 will hold its biennial convention at the Bicentennial Convention Center in Tacoma from June 20 to 22.
Among the guest speakers at the convention will be International President Gerald McEntee and Secretary-Treasurer William Lucy, who will bring members up to date on the national scene, and US Senator Maria Cantwell who will report on developments in Washington D.C.
A welcome reception will be held Friday evening, a dinner-dance Saturday evening, the PEOPLE breakfast Saturday morning and a breakfast sponsored by the Council's Women's Action Committee Sunday morning.
The convention will be preceded by a golf tournament at the Spanaway Golf Club.
First prize for the winning team will be $200 and four tickets to a Mariners game as well as regular golf prizes. Second place winners will receive four Mariners tickets and golf prizes. Those who fill third place will receive golf prizes.
