I.B.E.W. Local 35 and Local 90 hosted an Open House on May 28, 2009 at Local 90's Training Facility.  The topic was "Going Green".

It was attended by representatives from the Connecticut I.B.E.W. Locals and I.V.P. Frank Caroll, I.R. Brian Maher, and I.R. Richard Panagrossi along with many local politicians.

The purpose was to show members of the legislature what the Connecticut I.B.E.W. Locals are doing to move toward alternative energy sources.
