LOCAL 1245 RETIREES LAUNCH CARSON CITY CHAPTER

Retired IBEW Local 1245 members have launched a new chapter of the union’s Retirees Club in Carson City, NV.

The new chapter will meet on the fourth Thursday of the month at 9:00 a.m. at Grandma Hattie’s Restaurant, located at 2811 S. Carson St. in Carson City. It is the eighth chapter of the Retirees Club, and the third located in Nevada.

The president of the Carson Chapter is Sierra Pacific Power retiree Jim Pursel.

Local 1245 retirees have played a crucial role in the on-going fight to preserve benefits for active and retired employees of Sierra Pacific Power, now known as NV Energy. They have written public letters and questioned a company executive at a Reno/Sparks chapter meeting, among other actions.

If you live in the Carson City area, now is a great time to reconnect with other former Sierra Pacific Power employees, have some fun, and make an impact at the same time!
