CTC Giving Back to the Local Community

CTC has been enhancing the lives of Cordova residents in its support of the community since becoming a cooperative form of business in 1978.

CTC supports the community of Cordova with employment opportunities for 16 residential employees; spends over $1 million with local vendors; donates over $35,000 to local groups annually; sponsors the Cordova School District's "Student of the Quarter" program, boys and girls sports program and many extracurricular school programs. CTC continues to distribute "Welcome" packets to new Cordova residents; and, each month under the “Five Free” program one lucky ctcak.net subscriber is given five $50 gift certificates for a total of $250 to be redeemed at local businesses.

Further, CTC distributes thousands of dollars annually to graduating high school seniors; the 2009 CTC scholarships for high school seniors were awarded to Elizabeth Collins, Trae Lohse, Olivia Kelly, Kyle Irving, Marissa Merritt, and Emma Roemhildt for a total scholarship amount of $16,000. These students were awarded funds through the interest earned on unclaimed patronage capital from prior years' distributions. Also, for the 13th straight year the 2009 NTCA Youth Tour to Washington DC scholarship was presented to a local high school junior and Kellie Fisher was the lucky winner. Kellie and her mother Michele, as CTC Chaperone for the Youth Tour, attended this five day event in June. Various other community donations are made throughout the year.

In addition to the above community donations CTC, through its subsidiary Cordova Wireless Communications, gives free local cellular service and free cell phones to its members; and, offers ctcak.net subscribers a free netbook computer by signing a two year contract for their internet service.

CTC not only strives to be a good business neighbor by supporting local businesses, programs and worthwhile organizations, CTC follows its Mission Statement by remaining committed to the provision, improvement and expansion of quality, competitively priced communication services in Cordova and the surrounding service area.
