LOCAL 7 NEWS ITEMS

Run to Home Base Bothers and Sisters, On May 20th, I will be participating in the Run to Home Base raising funds for Mass General Hospital’s effort to treat wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with brain related trauma. To run in this 9K race, I have pledged to raise at least $1,000 for our veterans, but hope to far exceed that number. I have chosen to honor Marine Staff Sergeant Gerald Pierce, my step-father, for his sacrifice for our country by naming him as my hero, as he was disabled in Vietnam. Additionally, the unit at Mass General that treats these soldiers took great care of my father-in-law, Steve Barstow, when he had a brain tumor removed last year.During the race, I will be wearing an IBEW Local #7 shirt to show pride in my union and to symbolize our continued commitment to service men and women of this nation.
Any amount you can donate would be greatly appreciated. 

Fraternally,Bill Horgan
