Every year, electric cooperatives in Missouri sponsor essay contests to select delegates to the annual Youth Tour to Washington, D.C. These fortunate high school students represent their local cooperative on a whirlwind tour of the nation's capital. They tour museums, visit America's most cherished monuments and even meet their elected officials. All the while they are learning about electric cooperatives and their role in the community.
This year, Megan Hamm, a Junior at MCE, wrote an essay on the topic of welding and how it tied in to electric usage. This essay won Megan the opportunity to represent the Southwest Electric Cooperative out of Bolivar this summer for the annual Youth Tour. Thanks to Nick Seiner from SWEC in Bolivar for presenting Megan with her award this afternoon. Congratulations Megan!!
