🏌️‍♂️ IT’S THIS WEEKEND! 🏌️‍♀️

Our 3rd Annual IBEW Local 106 Charity Golf Tournament is happening this Saturday, August 15th at South Hills Country Club, and we’re looking forward to another great day on the course!

We have a bunch of awesome prizes donated by several generous local businesses, along with food, drinks, contests, mulligans, skins, and plenty of fun throughout the day. Whether you’re coming out to golf, support the cause, or just be part of a great event, we’d love to see you there!

Most importantly, this year’s tournament is being held to benefit our brother, Jason Stoll, as he continues his fight against cancer.

Jason has been a proud member of IBEW Local 106 for 16 years and has also spent several years helping teach and mentor our third-year apprentices. He has given a lot to our Local, and now it’s our turn to give back and show him the support of his IBEW family.

Come out, have a great day golfing, enjoy some food and drinks, win some prizes, and most importantly, help us support Jason. Every bit of support makes a difference.

WE ALSO NEED VOLUNTEERS!
If you’re available to help throughout the day with registration, events, food, or anything else, we could definitely use your help. Please reach out to Andrew Honey of call the Hall if you’re interested in volunteering.

Let’s come together as a Local, have a great day, and show Jason just how strong his IBEW family is.

After four years of attending NTI, they have officially completed the program—a significant accomplishment that reflects their commitment to continuing education and providing the highest quality instruction to the next generation of IBEW 106 electricians.

Thank you both for your dedication to our apprentices and to the future of our trade. We are proud to have you on our instructional team and wish you continued success as you inspire and educate the apprentices who follow in your footsteps.

Each year, the IBEW Local 106 Joint Apprenticeship & Training Committee proudly sends a group of our instructors to the Electrical Training Alliance's National Training Institute (NTI) to continue their education and enhance their skills.

NTI provides world-class training on the latest technologies, teaching methods, and industry best practices, ensuring our instructors return with valuable knowledge to share with our apprentices.

Investing in our instructors means investing in the future of our apprenticeship program and the next generation of highly skilled IBEW electricians.

We are excited to welcome Wyatt into our ranks!

As an electrical apprentice, Wyatt will earn a paycheck while receiving valuable on-the-job training with our signatory contractors. At the same time, he'll complete our five-year Joint Apprenticeship Training Program—earning a top-quality education completely tuition-free right here at our training center.

Congratulations, Wyatt! We look forward to watching you grow and succeed in the trade.

Another great project supporting our local community!

Journeyman Wireman Eric Vanstrom and fifth-year Apprentice Steven McIntyre recently completed electrical upgrades at the Chautauqua County 4‑H Snack Bar located at the county fairgrounds. Their work included installing receptacles, GFCIs, and other improvements to ensure the facility is safe and ready for the fair to kick off.

This project was completed with the help and support of BECC Electric—thank you for your partnership!
