We are just less than 4 weeks away from the ATU 757 Annual Union Picnic on August 2, 2026! 🧺

For the past several years, we've hosted our picnic at Alderbrook Park in Brush Prairie, WA, thanks to its outstanding staff and amenities that comfortably accommodate our large membership.

We have listened to your feedback and made improvements to registration and food service, helping ensure everyone gets into the park and through the lines as quickly as possible.

From bingo, caricature artists, and face painting to bounce houses, a heated pool, and petting zoo, we're excited to welcome everyone back for another day of fun, food, and union solidarity.

Mark your calendars! 📅

Getting Care in a Disaster or Emergency:
Natural disasters can strike with little or no warning, disrupting daily life and access to essential health services. Medicare provides resources to help you get care if an emergency is declared and you must evacuate to a safe area. Planning ahead ensures you can access care quickly when it matters most. Medicare offers tools and information to help you prepare for unexpected events. Visit Medicare.gov/emergency.

Prescription Drug Access:
You can transfer most prescriptions to another in-network pharmacy during an emergency and then return to your regular pharmacy afterward. If you need to use an out-of-network pharmacy, contact your Medicare drug plan for assistance.

Seeing a Doctor:
With Original Medicare, you can see any doctor who accepts Medicare. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan or another Medicare health plan, contact your plan to learn about temporary options, such as using an out-of-network provider during the emergency.

Critical Care & Equipment:
If you need access to cancer treatments, dialysis, or a replacement wheelchair or walker, visit Medicare.gov/emergency to learn more about getting the care and equipment you need during an emergency.
