The Construction and Contractor’s Club of Shasta College is recruiting members to strengthen the group.
The club was approved Friday, April 15th by the student senate.
The Association of General Contractors of California, or AGC is the parent company of this student chapter.
Currently the club has over 16 members and is looking to expand to a minimum of 25 members to solidify its structure and place in the local area and school.
While the club is funded by the AGC, sponsors are welcome.
An AGC meeting will be held on April 29th at 7:00 p.m.
A primary focus of the club is community service and volunteer work.
Club members recently volunteered on the farm at Shasta College with the Art and Welding Clubs.
Two semesters ago, before it was the Contractor’s Club, it was the Equipment Club.
The Equipment Club assisted in building an add-on playground to Kids’ Kingdom and participated in the Nelson Creek Dam removal.
The doors are “open to students and anyone” and “not necessarily enrolled” at Shasta College says Frost.
Frost is also looking at the possibility of scholarships, job fairs, and child involvement in the club and even high school recruitment.
The Construction Club is looking for various construction and meeting sites outside of the classroom environment.
In recent years enrollment in contractor/construction classes has dropped dramatically.
Frost and Vice President Chris Ray are currently talking with the city for possible construction of a new park.
Club members will be attending the Clubs Awards Banquet on April 28th at the Farm and the Fish Derby on May 21st at Shasta Lake if anyone is interested in participating.
Sheds the club has already constructed are for sale.
Shed prices and sizes vary.
The club is available for independent projects in the local area if the need arises.
The Contractor’s Club is located in the 2600 building, room 2608 and meets Tuesdays 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Website construction is underway for the club.
Those interested in construction or volunteer wok should contact club president Troy Frost at (530) 604-4316 or vice president Chris Ray at (530) 921-4350.
