IBEW PER CAPITA DUES INCREASE FOR ALL MEMBERS
This is our last reminder that dues have increased $1.00 per the 40th International Convention effective 7-1-2025 for ALL MEMBERS. Should you happen to send in the wrong amount we will send out notices of any shortages.
VOLT
Local 340’s VOLT with other Skilled Trades is hosting an event called “Speak to Win”. This will be a family friendly event where you can learn to craft a 2-minute testimony that defends our work and strengthens our voice. Although our work involves us to be on the jobsite, obtaining that work starts long before any groundwork breaks, this will be a crash course about getting involved in every aspect of our work. The future begins now with us securing jobs for today and generations to come.
IBEW ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP PICNIC
The picnic is fast approaching, and all invites have been mailed. As the date gets closer and we finalize our count we will send one last evite reminder, please be sure to RSVP before the deadline so your name can be entered into our Member Only raffle prize. As we get closer to the picnic, we are even more pressed to find volunteers. If you can lend a hand, please contact Reyna at the hall via email reyna@ibewlocal340.org or cell 916-539-0412.
NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION
Thank you to all those who attended our New Member Orientation this past month. We had such a great turnout and seen many spouses who helped engage in the discussions. If you missed this event, our next class is October 7th. Please look out for your reschedule letter as they have been mailed to those who did not attend. Reminder emails also get sent to everyone a week prior to the class.
EWMC RIB COOK OFF
The return of EWMC’s Rib Cook Off was such a hit. This year it was paired with VOLT to host a fight night. It was an event we hope to see return next year. Congratulations to 1st place winner Brian Stauffer and 2nd place winner Franklin Alfaro! Thank you to the volunteers and sponsors who helped make this event a great one. Go check out EWMC’s Facebook page to see all the fun.
