EREC Youth Tour Participants Visit Tallahassee
February 24, 2009
Escambia River Electric Cooperative took 16 juniors from its service area to Tallahassee recently to learn more about their state legislature and electric cooperatives as part of its Youth Tour.
While in Tallahassee, the students met with Representatives Clay Ford and Dave Murzin and had the opportunity to tour the governor’s mansion. The students participated in a mock session in the house chambers and in the Florida Supreme Court as well. In addition, the students enjoyed visiting the Mary Brogan Museum and seeing the “Our Body – The Universe Within” exhibit.
Participants included Jessica Bloodsworth, Erica Bogden, Emma Bone, Sandra Boyett, Jordan Bray, Clint Davis, Kathryn Floyd, Drew Garcia, Travis Hatfield, Bridget Jacobs, Heather Lee, Austin Lowery, Miranda Scott, Felicia Settle, Allison Spence and Allison White.
The Youth Tour program provides students an opportunity to learn more about their state government and electric cooperatives and also gives them a chance to interact with other students from co-ops throughout the state. It was a great educational experience and a lot of fun for the entire group.
