Food, family, and fellowship are an annual holiday tradition for two Portland sister locals of Operative Plasterers and Cement Masons International Association — Cement Masons Local 555 and Plasterers Local 82. Each year they put on a Christmas dinner and use the occasion to both celebrate newly graduating apprentices and to honor their most senior members for their years of service. This year the event was held Dec. 5 at the Monarch Hotel in Clackamas. See nwlaborpress.org/monarch for more images from the event.
