Local 104 Promotes Reading for Tots in New Hampshire
IBEW Local 104 recently sponsored Nottingham Reads!, a group of individuals working to promote literacy in children not yet in school.
Local 104's sponsorship allowed for children in Nottingham, N.H., to receive a copy of the book "Pip & Squeak."
Nottingham Reads! consists of regular and special education teachers, as well as the town and school librarian. Together, they provide free books to children under age 5 in an effort to promote literacy in their families and provide children with some reading building blocks upon entering kindergarten.

104 Well Represented at
'Maine Power Reliability' Job Fair
Local 104 staffed its recruitment booth for linemen during a job fair on Jan. 18 in Maine specifically for the largest construction project ever undertaken in Maine, the $1.4 billion Maine Power Reliability Program.
The "Business & Employment Exposition," held at the Augusta Civic Center, was sponsored by Central Maine Power Co. and was attended by job seekers, general contractors, industrial suppliers and other Maine businesses.
Local 104 was able to generate interest in membership and apprenticeship, as well as network with other industry professionals. Business Manager Tiler Eaton and President Jeff Place were also both interviewed by media outlets covering the event.
