Workers Memorial Day 2016
Thanks to those who spent a Saturday volunteering their time and skills to provide the kids of Danvers with lights at their baseball field. It is a great example of how Union members are an asset to communities. Extra special thanks to Eric Post who spent a numerous amount of time on planning and preperation.
Congratulations to all of the members who received service pins in 2016!
Jason Bohm, Ken McLean, Matt Strupp, and Dennis Nolan are pictured with Tina Sipula. The guys volunteered their time at the Clare House to add a few circuits on the upper floor for heating and cooling the rooms safely.
