HOMES FOR OUR TROOPS PROJECT UPDATE

Volunteers with IBEW Local 494 are in Eagle helping build a new home free of charge for an area veteran severely injured in Iraq.

Army SPC Jason M. Schulz, who grew up in West Allis, lost both of his legs in November 2007 when the Salvage and Recovery Wrecker he was riding in struck an IED. Jason and his wife, who most recently were living in San Antonio while he continued rehab, are looking forward to living near his family in Wisconsin.

The home under construction in Eagle is being built specifically to suit his needs. The four-bedroom, two-bath ranch has an elevator to the basement and a covered deck complete with can lighting.  An automatic generator will provide power during emergencies.

The rough-in work is finished, and the interior is in the process of being drywalled, taped and painted. Completion is expected to be early spring when the driveway is poured.

IBEW Local 494 and Roman Electric have stepped up to the plate, contributing labor and money to the project. Roman installed the service, and the retirees have donated many hours roughing in the electrical systems.  So far, union members have voted to contribute $4500 to pay for electrical materials and fixtures. Don Weber, retiree volunteer, organized a fish fry dinner at his church, Mount Olive Lutheran, raising $3500 for appliances.

Warm thanks for Larry Buege, Roger Erdman, William Herman, and Neal Jochims for all of their volunteer work. Special recognition goes to Warren Trede and Donald Weber for leading the team and Ricardo Gutierrez for coordinating the project.

Quarterly dues owed by the end of March.  The office will take payment over the phone using Master Card or Visa.
