Members smile and pose for the camera at Dave & Buster's

The SAG-AFTRA Los Angeles Local hosted a volunteer appreciation mixer for all staff and member volunteers of the strike on Nov. 28. The event was held at Dave & Buster’s in Hollywood to express gratitude for everyone’s efforts. The strike would not have reached its goal after 118 days without their work. For many, it was the first time that staff and members were able to see each other again. It was a fun time full of good food, fellowship and a little competition.
