IBEW Local 494 Volunteers Add Their Glow
to the Childrens Memorial Garden

Last fall IBEW Local 494 retirees cheerfully volunteered time and a total of 208 years of on-the-job experience to install lights and receptacles on the gazebo of Waukesha’s Prairie Home Cemetery Childrens Memorial Garden.  The material and contracted labor for the electrical project was paid for by the union upon membership approval, and Senft Trenching offered their excavating services at cost.

The garden is the dream of friends who both lost children.  The two mothers wanted a quiet place for parents and loved ones to grieve and meditate.  Union trades from the Waukesha and Milwaukee area helped build the memorial, and it was dedicated in the fall of 2007.  One of the mothers approached Local 494 to add electrical to the gazebo to enhance memorial services.
