Stan Wilson Manager of ClarkeWashington Electric Membership Corporation
4 FEBRUARY 2016
At Clarke-Washington EMC we talk a lot about the services we provide to you, our members—home energy audits, heat pump rebates, convenient billing options, and fun events like our annual meeting. But many of our value-added benefits are directed at a younger audience: children. It’s important that we support our youngest members, not only to enrich their lives, but also to instill in them the importance of cooperative membership. After all, these are the ones who will one day become community and possibly co-op leaders. For high school seniors, we offer college scholarships. This year we will award three $1000 scholarships. There is some information on the following pages about our scholarship program. You can get an application from your guidance counselor, or you can go to our website, www.cwemc.com, to print your
own copy. The applications must be mailed to the address on the application and received by February 26, 2016. For our high school juniors, we have the opportunity to attend the annual Rural Electric Youth Tour, where we send 4 local students to Montgomery on a two-day trip to learn about co-ops and government on a state level. Then, two of these students will go to Washington, D.C., on a weeklong trip in June to learn more about the electric cooperatives and government on a national level. It is truly a wonderful trip. We also support programs in the schools for our youngest members, like energy conservation talks and safety presentations. We do these things because we want to make our communities better and improve the quality of life of all of our members. Thank you.
