About thomas sherwin #14 Pioneers

 Welcome to the Thomas Sherwin Pioneers

The “ Birthplace of Pioneering “

Welcome to our Website and the world of Pioneering.

In 1911, the first meeting of a group of telephone employees was held

at the Somerset Hotel in Boston Massachusetts and they decided to call themselves the

Telephone Pioneers of America.

Eleven years later in 1922 the Pioneers divided into chapters

and The Thomas Sherwin Chapter was one of the first 14 chapters charted. 

In the upcoming years we will be involved in a wide variety 

of projects within all of our communities.

We look forward to working with all the volunteers, 

who without you, we could not make all the great things we do happen.

We look forward to seeing you.

Yours in Pioneering,  The Thomas Sherwin Chapter
