Join us for March’s Luncheon!

Join us on March 20 for networking, socializing and a great program.

This month we will be welcoming Tyler Wilfong from CCME. He will be speaking about the Emergency Homeless Shelter they are working on in Tulare. This project will be very beneficial for the community in Tulare.

Emergency Homeless Shelter, City of Tulare, CA

The City of Tulare is advancing its efforts to support homeless residents with the construction of a permanent Emergency Homeless Shelter on East O’Neal Avenue. Building on the success of the “Tent City” encampment, the new shelter will include pre-manufactured metal buildings with showers, restrooms, dog kennels, a food pantry, laundry facilities, and living quarters. The $8.94 million project will feature improvements like parking, sewer, fire protection, and landscaping. CCME will provide submittal review and construction support on behalf of the City of Tulare

including oversight and inspection services for utility and subgrade improvements, steel reinforcing, concrete site work, masonry installation, and steel fabrication and installation while coordinating any questions or concerns that arise from the contractor as the project progresses.

Who Doesn’t like “FREE BEER”

Our first beer social on February 27th lured fourteen folks in for a free beer (and got Tony Akel on a merry-go-round horse!). So, we’re doing it again at The Backyard Social Club at 5 pm on Wednesday, March 26th but only the FIRST FIVE will get a free beer at the Branch’s expense. Come by and socialize with your fellow engineers and wind down after a long week. The address is 1542 Clovis Avenue (just NW of Lowes in Clovis).
