Service for Avis Buchanan to be Held Tuesday(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

A Celebration of Life Service will be held for Avis Buchanan on Tuesday, September 17, at Israel Baptist Church (1251 Saratoga Avenue NE). "Avis was a dear friend and a pioneer of justice," said Eric Bunn Sr., AFGE District 14 National Vice President. Buchanan's union activism spanned almost four decades; she served as chief steward and president of AFGE Local 2782 at the U.S. Census, trustee of several AFGE locals and most recently as Council 1 President. The viewing will be held from 10a-12 noon, and the service will begin at 12 noon.  There will be no interment; in lieu of flowers, the family asks that you send memorial contributions to Israel Baptist Church.  You may also send other acts of condolences to the family through the church.
