  • President’s Message – June 2026

    Scholarship winners from American River College are:

    Ebraheembeg Mirza
    Ivan Bilokobylko
    Yevhen Varlan

    These were announced at the departmental BBQ at ARC on May 11th. This was the first time I have had the opportunity to visit the ARC automotive department. It is very impressive! They have 12 lifts, a dyno, engine room, transmission room, and on and on.  

    On May 28th, Larry Reuter of Porsche Sacramento hosted the ARC students for a lunch and learn. Larry provided constructive advice for the students as they embark on their careers and gave a tour of the Porsche Sacramento facilities. We then presented tool awards to 3 deserving students. The winners are:

    Jose Flores
    Najibullah Zaki
    Randall Tory

    Stay tuned for a comprehensive update of the award recipients from ARC and Sierra College in next month’s Drifter.
