Real Journeyman^TM Electricians Volunteer Wiring Project at CRFC

Approximately 2,500 people are expected to take part in CFRC’s Christmas Day dinner. But there weren’t nearly enough electrical outlets at the CRFC to keep all that food warm. So journeyman wireman Daryl Killian and 2nd year apprentice Jeff Pickering volunteered to install the necessary extra wiring. Killian and Pickering are each part of the Real Journeyman^TM electrician program sponsored by the IBEW Local 668 and their signatory contractors through their labor management cooperative committee (LMCC). The Real Journeyman^TM program was contacted by Ken McCammon, who is a member of the CFRC Christmas Day Dinner Committee, and the electricians were happy to volunteer the work.

Jon Huston of Huston Electric, a Real Journeyman^TM contractor donated materials and tools for the project. Additional materials were provided cost-free by Randy Strong of the Central Supply Company. There are many others helping to support this Christmas Day effort. It all happens Christmas Day from 11am to 3pm at the Community and Family Resource Center at 330 Fountain Street in Lafayette. Those needing transportation or their Christmas meal delivered may call the CFRC at 420-1647.
