Contrary to what some people have been saying, the Electric League of MD is not dead, and we have every intention of being one of the active forces for the electrical industry in the years ahead…so, the League wants to thank those generous sponsors and supporters of the League who gave door prizes and financial assistance so that it will help ensure the stability and necessary growth of our organization.
We received over 200 door prizes, the raffle gifts, and $3,300 in financial aid, all in addition to the ticket sales for the Bull Roast. In addition to the raffle items (all donated, at no expense to us), we received financial sponsorships to help offset the cost of the appetizers, shrimp, bar, desserts, special centerpieces and part of the band cost. These financial sponsorships were provided by: Bob Roby of Miles Electric, Jim Gillin of JM Gillin, George Lang of Power Factor LLC, Brandt Rider of Fulton Bank, Amanda Sockriter of Capital Electric, and Wayne Matheu of Enterprise Electric.
We have also received generous donations of funds to offset the printing cost from Ewing Associates (Diane Ewing), as well as a wonderful new concept for education of future electricians from Dennis Felts of HCECA and Marty Schumacher of MS Electrical Training.
Wonderful door prizes came from Rexel, Graybar, O.T. Hall, Capital Electric, Dominion, Maurice, P.C.S., Leonard Bathgate, Main Street Electric, The Sasser’s, and Kroeger Electric.
These acts of generosity allow the League to conduct educational and training programs, foster goodwill with the public and our members, encourages a code of ethics, and be the coordinated body to help with legislation and promote industry objectives. The list is long, and forgive us if we have missed a name or firm.
After the Board of Director’s Meeting in December, look on our website for new innovative ideas about corporate and sponsoring membership dues.
Gratefully,
Gil Thompson
ELM Vice President
