IBEW Local Union 223 and Lumus Construction are installing a 135 kw solar field at the Bridgewater Correctional Facility. This particular solar field project consists of 502 modules at 224 watts per panel.

Electricians from Local 223, 103 and contractor City Lights Electrical have teamed
up to donate their time and wired the House of Possibilities for special needs children.
This project on the grounds of Stonehill College will provide a place for special needs
Children to go and work with a staff that can assist them in their developmental needs.

With the number of volunteers that showed up, the house was roughed in one day.
We are looking for more volunteers to complete the finish sometime over the winter.
I would like to thank all of the volunteers who participated on this day.

There has been an interest in starting a softball team. Membership Development Director Brian Callahan along with Brother Tim Price are going to hold an informational meeting to discuss the team and the league that they will be playing in. At the end of the season the team would like to participate in Local 25's tournement in Long Island at the end of August.

At this meeting, they are looking for participants for the team and discuss how the costs for uniforms and the trip can be offset. Anyone interseted in becoming a member of the softball team is asked to attend the informational meeting on Wednesday March 12th at 5 PM at the Union Hall (this is before the Union meeting).
