Fund Professionals will be attending the Membership Meeting on February 22, 2012 to explain the New England Electrical Workers Benefit Fund.  Local 35 will be joining this Health Fund effective March 1, 2012.  The plan provides excellent health coverage at a lower cost due to a larger volume of participants.

A discussion will also be held at the February meeting on reallocating money that is currently going to the NECA-IBEW Local 35 Health & Welfare Fund.  A vote will be held at the March Membership Meeting to allocate the money.

It's very important that you attend this meeting so that you will understand the new health coverage, contribution rates and co-pays, and have a voice in where your money goes.

It's that time again........
