If you’re local to the Wheeling, WV area, then you may have seen our Augusta Levy Learning Center project featured at the OVCEC office building as their “Project of the Month.” The learning center is just down the road from Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s corporate headquarters and adds a unique touch to the city of Wheeling with its corrugated panels in the shade “Slate Blue.” Thank you, OVCEC, for displaying one of our favorite local projects!
In May, National Women in Roofing teamed up with American Red Cross to host a blood drive at the Highlands Event Center in Triadelphia, WV. Individuals across Ohio County elected to donate, including some of our employees at Kalkreuth and East Coast. The theme for Red Cross’s nationwide blood drive this year was, “Summer Full of Life” as they’re encouraging us to get out and have fun, and help others do the same this summer!
The International Facility Management Association’s Greater Louisville Chapter held their annual golf outing at the Big Spring Country Club on May 10th. Pictured below is Justin Spillman practicing his swing on the Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal sponsored Men’s Closest to the Pin Challenge.
Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal is proud to be one of the sponsors of the Dodgers little league team in the Lexington Southeastern Cal Ripken league. The sponsorship funding goes toward benefitting the team by helping to supply them with equipment, water, and anything else they need to make baseball events a success. In this picture, standing next to his little brother River, is KRSM Estimator Benson Phillips’ son, Sonny, who plays on the Dodgers tee ball team.
On May 4th, West Liberty presidents Dr. W. Franklin Evans, Dr. Jeremy Larance, and Jason Koegler went to Triadelphia, WV to tour our fabrication shop/office building. They spent the majority of the afternoon there. After enjoying lunch, they attended a meeting with Mr. Kalkreuth, John Trifonoff, Josh Wack, and Tiffany Wildern to speak on creating a learning-while-working partnership between KRSM and WLU. They talked while touring the facility about how they can prepare their students for jobs with us and how we can give them real world job experience through internships or co-ops. Although currently there is no news on any programs yet, hopefully in the near future our sheet metal team will have the opportunity to be mentors!
Matthew Hurley, son of Jim Hurley, President/CEO (KRSM) attends Duquesne University School of Law in Pittsburgh, PA and is a member of their track & field team. On Sunday, April 11th, at the Mason Spring Invitational hosted at George Mason Stadium, Matt set a new program-best mark in the 110-meter hurdles to lead the Duquesne men’s track and field team. Finishing the 110-meter hurdles in 14.72 seconds, he demolished Kyle Trinch’s old school record of 14.99 set in 2016. Hurley and his teammate Isaac Elliot were also part of the Dukes’ first-place 4×100-meter relay team along with Ian Thrush and Jahmaine Hatten. They registered a time of 41.42 in the event, which is second best in program history. Congratulations to Matt!
