On August 13, 2016, volunteers from DC 7’s Local Union 781 (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) worked with PPG Industries of Oak Creek, Wisconsin to power wash and paint the Oak Creek American Legion Post. The exterior paint was donated by PPG Industries, and volunteers for this project included Scott Carstens, John Behlke, Tony Irby, Curt Belden, Tony Lazaro, Tom Coyne, and legion member John Edulbute IV.

Although the IUPAT Community Day of Action comes only one day a year, we are still working on a daily basis to give back to our communities.  Thanks to all the volunteers in Wisconsin.
