Our annual Local 86 Golf Tournament was held Saturday June 23rd at Mill Creek Golf Course. The forecast was for heavy rain but fortunately the weather held out for us except for the wind. I was told Mike O’Brien came within 18 inches of winning a new truck on the hole in one contest. The winning regular division team was Howard Fleischman, Andrew Fleischman, Adam Robinson, and Ian Brotherton. 2nd place was Scott Beeman, Clay Beeman, Cory Lamberton and Pete Stoller. The senior division winning team was Bob Alexander, Mark Alexander, Todd Alexander, and Robert Hiel. 2nd place was Jim Short, Joe Caufield, Mike O’Brien, and Alex Genovese. Congratulations to the winning teams and thank you all for playing in this year’s event. A thank you goes out to the golf committee, Brian Mitchell, Josh Miller, Nick Garnier, Clay Beeman and Dan O’Mealia for all your efforts and time to make this happen. And a special thanks goes out to the volunteers, Michelle C, Val, Nancy, Craig, Taylor, Leah, Michelle K and Katie, without you we would not have been able to pull this off!

Pictures, pictures, pictures! Local 86’s 125th Anniversary party is November 2nd, and we would like pictures for the brochure. If you have old pictures of projects or member gatherings, please send them over to the union office. Feel free to take some new ones as well (when it is acceptable on the jobsite!).
Please keep an eye out for and report to the Hall any projects you may see on your travels. The organizers continue to have welcoming, positive conversations on job sites with potential future members.
The work picture continues to stay strong this year. The Fair Life Milk project in Webster has been awarded to O’Connell Electric and calls should be expected in the coming weeks. Multiple substations and water treatment facilities are continuing to remodel and expand across the jurisdiction. RIT, U of R, St. John Fisher, and SUNY Brockport all have projects breaking ground as soon as summer break hits. For those who enjoy the outdoors, we have solar projects in every direction! The Morris Ridge project is running overtime and will be looking for help all summer. This, of course, is all on top of our normal seasonal workload ramping up.
In Solidarity,
Todd

All you need is a shotgun (preferably a bird gun, interchangeable chokes are a plus), something to carry 50 shells, a clay bird card (that is something we will help you get), and free time at 5pm on a Wednesday evening. The league is held at Rochester Brooks Gun Club. We will start May 22 at 5 pm. The league runs until the end of August, sometimes it runs for a couple of weeks into September. Everyone is welcome.
