Donation Made to the BRTC Welding Program

POCAHONTAS, AR May 23 — John Gillespie of Tumbling Shoals has donated two metal fabricating devices, valued at $3500, to the BRTC welding program.

Gillespie contributed one roller bender, which is valued at $1500. Roller benders can be used to create arcs, bends, cylinders, and circular objects. He also donated a sheet bender, valued at $2000. The sheet bender can be used to deform metal into an angular shape. Both pieces of equipment are an important part of custom metal fabrication.

91Ô­´´ appreciates this generous donation, along with all other community members who contribute and show support to the college.
