While other parts of the country were experiencing severe storms and tornados, the weather in East Lansing was pure sunshine for our annual APA picnic. Held on May 21 at Patriarche Park, the picnic provided a chance for APA members to take the night off from cooking and to gather with fellow union members and their families for a social and networking event. Â
A family friendly event for kids of all ages, with toys and activities provided and of course the snow cones were a big hit with both children and adults.
APA members who won door prizes include: Dave Graff, Allen Scheck, Haida Lopez, Geronimo Felipe and Stephanie Bahorski.
Members also had a chance to contribute to an Idea Board for contract negotiations as the Bargaining Committee begins to seek input from members on proposed language changes, conditions of employment and benefits for the upcoming contract negotiations with the university. Â
