Two big news items!


After five years with our first logo, YVSC has decided to update our image to highlight the triple-bottom-line work that YVSC does! We hope you like it!

And thanks to Arbor Day Foundation, YVSC has been chosen to receive the Excellence in Volunteer Management Award!  We are honored to receive this award and to be recognized at their April 24-26 Ceremony in Nebraska City, NE with other tree-planting leaders throughout the country.

Hands-On Advance Air sealing Workshop by SIGA

The Three Elements for Successful Air-tight Construction: Planning, Application and Quality

 

TODAY!  February 26th | 12pm - 2pm  |  Library Hall

 

This two-hour workshop will help improve the value you provide to your customers and will help you differentiate yourself from others in the building industry. We will include examples of building assemblies, window flashing, tackling problems of moisture management, designing and constructing an air tight envelope, and quantifying results with a blower door test.
