Pictured below are the certified stewards and Ade Alagbala, our former staff representative from Council 31. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cookcountypd.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/dsc03655.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cookcountypd.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/dsc03655.JPG\" width=\"387\" height=\"291\" \/><\/a>And during the week of July 28, 2008,  we attended the International Convention in San Francisco.
