https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/txhsws\/txhsws<\/a>. Our section stepped up and made the Alvarado High School a big success, let\u2019s do it again! Come out and join us April 9thand show support for this program, even if it\u2019s just to see what it\u2019s all about. Show these students they a have a large network of individuals, businesses and welding suppliers who support them in their endeavors to become great welders.<\/p>\u00a0<\/p>
Of course, to make this all happen, we need volunteers and donors. If you\u2019re able to help us out at this event and are willing to volunteer your time, for a few hours or for the day, we would greatly appreciate the help. We need a few CWI\u2019s to help visually inspect the welds and offer feedback to the students to encourage them. We\u2019ll also need people to monitor the booths and keep time, help with set up and tear down, helping pass out awards and trophies, and take pictures. Just as important, we need donations. If you have a spare set of gloves, glasses, chipping hammer, or welding hood you\u2019re willing to donate we can put them to good use; or maybe you\u2019re willing to donate funds to pay for student memberships(student membership is $15.00)or contribute to scholarship funds.<\/p>
To make this all happen we need donations for the following:<\/em><\/p>1. Door prizes for food drive<\/p>
2. Prizes for contest winners (25 total)<\/p>
3. Scholarship funds for contest winners<\/p>
4. Donations to pay for student memberships<\/p>
