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.
