RETIREES’ CLUB OF L.U. 58, DETROIT, MI — At our April union meeting, the first annual John Mayernik IBEW scholarship was awarded to apprentice Eric Demeter (class 20-B-2). This scholarship is the gift of the family of John Mayernik honoring his commitment to the IBEW.
On Oct. 8, 1989, the Mayernik family suffered the worst news anyone can receive: John lost his life on the job. All those who worked with John admired his commitment to our union, along with his high-quality workmanship and leadership. He was a pleasure to work with and for.
This scholarship is available to second- through fifth-year apprentices who are in good standing at school, on the job and at the union hall. It is a $2,000 award to be used as the recipient chooses.
The Mayernik family will work together with the Benevolent Fund to maintain and award this scholarship in the years to come. This is a great way to remember John and to assist those young members who are serious about their future in the electrical trade.
