L.U. 483 (catv,lctt,o&u), TACOMA, WA — On Aug. 12, members of our local, along with their friends and families, gathered for our annual picnic. Attendees enjoyed a variety of food accompanied by cornhole, bouncy houses, a balloon artist, snow cones and a caricaturist. At this year’s picnic, we hosted our years-of-service awards, with a 50-year award given to retired lineman Dave Kauppila. Dave’s stepson, lineman Scott Brennan, received a 25-year pin, making it a family tradition to be an IBEW member!
Membership engagement has been on the rise, with new work groups organized and strong interest in our shop steward training. We are delighted to be able to host these memorable events for our members and their families!
Byron Allen, B.M.
