GETTING READY FOR A SLAB POUR
The journey continues of the rehabbing of the old girl’s shower room (When it was the girl’s gym at FUSD many years ago) into a new teen study center room for the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley is moving along quite well. There was a concrete ramp pour on March 7th and now there is hope of a concrete slab pour on March 21st pending inspection approval. On Saturday March 14th Southwest Regional Carpenter’s members from Local #150 Mercy Urrea , David Urrea and Jose Cobian worked to lay additional rebar and clean up from the previous ramp pour. The Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley thanks these wonderful men for giving up their Saturday to help make a difference for our local youth.

AND WE HAVE A RAMP!!!!
Saturday was a very exciting day at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley’s Fillmore Clubhouse. The first of two cement pours was done and now we have an ADA compliant ramp for the new teen study center that is being renovated. The second cement pour will be later in the month which will be a five inch cap in the rest of the room. This 720sq. ft. room was previously the old girls shower room when FUSD owned the building many years ago. Upon completion the room will be utilized by Boys & Girls Club teens who will have many learning opportunities such as financial literacy, interview and resume skill building and new technology to help them with their studies. Donating the cement was Diversified Minerals Inc. and donating his concrete pumping services was Travis Tumer of Dragon Concrete Pumping. David Urrea, Mercy Urrea, Jon Duran, Jose Cobian and Jason Mora from SW Carpenters local #150 donated their time on Saturday to facilitate the ramp pour.

And We Have a Floor
Saturday March 21st was a very early morning start for a slab concrete pour at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley. This pour was for a floor that now connects to the ramp that was poured a few weeks ago. This continues the story of creating a new Teen Study Center in the old girl’s shower room when the high school girl’s gym was originally part of FUSD. Jim Price and Dave Hyatt of Diversified Minerals Incorporated graciously provided the concrete with Tony and Tim doing the two truck delivery Saturday morning. Pumping was courtesy of Eric Nunez’s Action Concrete Pumping with Ruben Gamboa doing the actual onsite pumping. Another big thank you to Travis Tumer from Dragon Concrete Pumping who provided pumping on the first slab pour. Also giving up their Saturday and working on site were Mercy Urrea, David Urrea and Jose Cobian from Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters Local #150. Finishers for the concrete work were Martin Chaidez and Mario Felix. The Boys & Girls Club wishes to thank all of these people who have helped with this future Teen Study Center.
