NOW, LET'S PLAY SOME HOCKEY!!

The Steelheads are on a roll winning their last 3 games and coming home to Qwest Arena on Wednesday for a three game home stand against the Utah Grizzlies. If anyone is interested in going to a Steelhead game I do have ticket vouchers for sale at $15.00 each. From this amount $4.00 goes directly back into youth hockey programs here in Boise. Call me for info.

My family and I are going to go to the game on Dec. 19th or 20th against the Bakersfield Condors, anyone interested in joining us please let me know ASAP and I will get the tickets.

LOCAL 291 CHRISTMAS PARTY

Please remember to attend our annual Christmas party Saturday Dec. 6th, 6-11pm, at the Holiday Inn on Vista. We will be having a roving magician during the arrival hour with a comedian following the appetizers. As always there will be many raffle prizes as well as an evening spent with old friends and new.

Solar Trailer

Parts have been arriving for the solar trailer project sponsored by our LMCC. This will be a towable solar power energy source to be used as a trainer and also at exhibits and functions to power equipment. Stay tuned for further developments and opportunities to help on this very exciting project.

Habitat for Humanity

We need volunteers to help us rough-in a duplex this Sat Nov. 29th at 9a.m. This is a great way to help our community while spending the day with friends old and new. If you have'nt volunteered in a while, come on out and work off that Thanksgiving dinner!

From Maple Grove go west on Edna st. and south on Patricia Lane. House is on east side of street. See you there. 3894/3896 Patricia Lane

Thanks to all the volunteers

We had a great turnout in Idaho City on Saturday. The community center received a new service and branch panel, new furnaces, new lighting in the main room and upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms. The Mayor of Idaho City came out to shake hands and thank everyone for their hard work.

Idaho City Volunteer Project

Please try to attend and help us upgrade the community center in Idaho City.
Our volunteer efforts make the difference in many peoples lives, and we help our communities like no one but the IBEW can. Even if you can only help out for an hour or two, your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. Hope to see you this Sat. the 22nd at 9 a.m. Take Montgomery st. to Commercial st. and turn left.

WELCOME!
