Northview, Jay Students Attend Rural Electric Youth Tour In Washington
June 27, 2013
Two North Escambia area students represented Escambia River Electric Cooperative during the annual Washington Rural Electric Youth Tour.
Taylor Brook of Northview High School and Kayla Flowers of Jay High School joined 1,500 youth leaders representing electric cooperatives from 41 states as they enjoyed a week-long tour of Washington, D.C. Brook and Flowers were the winners of the annual EREC Youth Tour contest held annually for high school juniors in the EREC service area.
Brook and Flowers visited the World War II, Lincoln, Vietnam, Korean and FDR memorials, along with Arlington National Cemetery. They also took an evening boat cruise along the Potomac River and attended a play at the Kennedy Center.
They also met with Congressman Jeff Miller and visited the Capitol where they learned more about how government works. During the Rural Electric Youth Day program, they had the opportunity to gain a better understanding of rural electric cooperatives’ history and their importance in the communities they serve.
