Club members have been thoughtfully distributing proceeds from their annual Confluence Park Car Show to worthy enterprises in the community.

On Feb. 6, members of the club gathered at DMTC and presented a $350 scholarship to a student in the automotive technology program.

Cheyanne Arellano is the student who will benefit from the club's generosity. Cheyanne is currently enrolled in the first semester of the two-semester certificate program. The goal of her studies is to prepare her to take and pass an industry certification exam that will open new opportunities of employment in the automotive technology field.

The school currently has 10 adult students in the automotive technology program. There are also 18 area high school students who are earning credits which can be applied to a DMTC certificate after graduation.

Members of the Delta Street Rodders have also donated to Tri-County Resource Center and to the Delta Volunteer Fire Department 4th of July fireworks display.

The club's ninth annual Confluence Park car show is scheduled for Saturday, July 28.
