We Need Volunteers

IBEW 291 along with Plumbers and Pipefitters 296 and Sheet Metal Workers 213, have been asked to donate labor to ANSER Charter School for their remodel. Charter school's receive no funding for their facilities. This is a great opportunity to promote union's in the valley! They are very excited to have us on board and we have contractors that have stepped up and started to help us out with tools. Please contact me and come on out to help. These volunteer projects are a great way to spend time with your fellow Brothers and Sisters.

CANCELLED STEWARD CLASS

The steward training class scheduled for Friday June 26th has been cancelled. When a new date is known the information will be posted.

NUKE IN IDAHO? (part II)

On Monday June 15th, Elmore County Commissioners unanimously decided to consider in more detail, a proposal to rezone land for a nuclear power plant. Seems there are some details to work out with the county's comprehensive plan. AEHI CEO and President Don Gillispie said "The commission today could have rejected our rezone request outright -to the delight of our opposition-but they instead chose to give it, and their comprehensive plan, further consideration."

CONGRATULATIONS!

Hats off to the Pittsburgh Penguins for winning the Stanley Cup in Detroit's house! It was a fantastic game 7 that i'm sure will lead to a great rivalry next season. Only 4 months until the puck drops in October!

NUKE IN IDAHO?

The Elmore County Commission yesterday decided after a one hour debate to postpone their decision to rezone 1300 acres of farmland to heavy industrial near Hammett until next Monday the 15th in order to receive more legal advice. Stay tuned!
