Kiwanis in Sanford made a donation to the SRTC Building Trades Program, recognizing the program's dedication to revitalizing Cobb Stadium.
Kiwanis took the initiative to organize an effort aimed at revitalizing Cobb Stadium. They scheduled four days of work to be carried out by their members and students in the Building Trades Program. The specific task was to strip and reside the existing storage garage situated in the lower back corner of Cobb.
Kiwanis members and students stripped off the old wood clapboard siding and replaced it with new white vinyl siding, giving the structure a refreshed and modern appearance.
They also installed aluminum wrap trim, ensuring durability and protection for years to come.
To express their support for the SRTC Building Trades Program's contribution to the revitalization of Cobb Stadium, Kiwanis donated $1,500 to the program. This contribution will enhance the program's resources and enable them to continue providing valuable hands-on experiences to future students.
