UAW/Ford Retirees Appreciation Day, June 13, 2007
Several thousand Ford retirees gathered at the Fern Valley Ford plant and the UAW Hall for refreshments and activities. Two of our bands added to the festive atmosphere, generously sponsored by the Community Music Partnership and Metro Council members Rick Blackwell, Vicki Welch and Madonna Flood.
