†††The 91²Ö¿â Welder's Association will hold a drawing for a 16' tandem axle angle top trailer on February 7. 2013. This trailer was built by NTCC students and materials were donated by local businesses. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. Contact Marcos Sanchez at 903-767-6537 or stop by the welding shop to purchase chances.
†††McKelvey Enterprises donated hardware, Top Hat Trailers gave metal, and McCoy's provided lumber†for the construction of the trailer. Performance Trailers powder coated the completed project.
†††"We are grateful to the local businesses who helped us make the trailer project a reality. Their support of our welding program means a lot," Marcos Sanchez, NTCC Welding Instructor, said.
†††The NTCC Welder's Association was recently formed to help support welding students during and after their time in the welding program. The group has already begun to participate in on-campus events and community service.
†††Proceeds from the trailer drawing will benefit the Welder's Association to help with future events and programs. Other sponsors include: The Sign Express, Five D Cattle Co., Lowe's, The Home Depot, Toyota of Mount Pleasant, and Champion Auto Sales in Mount Pleasant.
