ASM Casino Night hits the jackpot
ASM's Casino Night fundraiser on October 29 was a big hit with ASM members and friends, who had a great time "gambling" the night away at Las Vegas East (aka Newton Marriott), all for a good cause. The dealers kept everyone laughing, the DJ was great, and John Graffeo was just awesome in working magic with his "plain" deck of cards. Highlight of the evening, however, was the raffle - with over 30 terrific prizes, including sports tickets galore, and weekend getaways in Boston, Nantucket and New Hampshire. Special thanks to our Royal Flush Sponsor, Acadia Insurance, and to our 23 other event sponsors, as well as all those who donated raffle prizes for the event.
Visit the ASM website to view our photo gallery of the event. Kudos to ASM's program committee for an unforgettable evening!

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?
New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
State legislature ends session without passing PLA bill - by Joe Camilo
Massachusetts taxpayers dodged a bullet when the state Senate didn’t take up legislation passed by the House in the waning moments of the legislative session that would have made it easier for municipalities and state agencies to use union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects.
