The Templeton Unit of IBEW 1245 #1217 recently voted to contribute $500 from the local’s Community Fund to sponsor the 4-H goat group from Atascadero, CA. The program helps kids learn responsibility, teamwork, and the reward that comes from a hard day’s work. Together with their dedicated leader, Rene Tierney, the group had great success this year, finishing with two “First in Class” goats and a Reserve 4-H champion.
“It was a rewarding experience watching the kids progress throughout the year, then watching it come to fruition in the show ring,” said Templeton unit Shop Steward Bryan Anderson. “I would like to Thank IBEW Local 1245 for their local community involvement.”
