Congratulations! The聽Integrated Manufacturing SkillsUSA Club recently attended the SkillsUSA Minnesota聽Championships in Bloomington where they came away with the top gold medal.
In 1st place聽for Community Service:聽Kathleen Crooks, Michael Decaprio, and Nicole Okstad.
The 鈥淎 Soldier鈥檚 Love鈥� sculpture is a community service project that was created by this聽team of students to help veterans by raising funds for assistance dogs.
Inspired by a photo of a veteran with his dogs, the piece is designed by LSC alum Spencer Wilenius. The Integrated Manufacturing team put more than 100 hours into making the pieces, starting with the plasma cutting, cleaning, welding, and painting of the steel and finishing the pieces by installing the backlighting. The 23脳30-inch sculptures are designed to be wall-mounted. They are available for purchase for $125 through Kathleen Crooks, 218/565-8490. All funds raised will go to PetsLoyal2Vets.
