The IBEW-sponsored girls’ T-ball team in Fallon, NV: suited up for action.
A generous financial donation by IBEW Local 1245 members in Fallon, NV helped launch a girl’s T-ball team this spring.
The $300 gift from Local 1245 Unit 3316 prompted a letter of appreciation from the Churchill County Youth Soft Ball Association, which currently fields 235 girls on 20 teams. The Local 1245-sponsored team will compete in the T-Ball age division.
“Your support helped us to meet our goals this year,” said CCYSA President Eric Blakey in his thank-you letter.
“If some of the girls look familiar, it is because they sang at the union’s picket action in Reno last November,” notes Local 1245 Business Rep. Mike Grimm. “Their father is Bryan Reger, an NV Energy Lineman in Fallon, and their grandfather is Frank Reger, an NV Energy Troubleman in Yerington.”
Also on the team is the daughter of Line Crew Foreman Rob Helton.
Bryan Reger called the gifts—from individuals as well as the unit—“a great show of personal generosity and member contribution on behalf of our local and our unit towards the community in which we live.”
And now – “Play ball!”
