Commitment
to Community
One
of the Touchstone Energy principals is, “Commitment to Community”. As a
response to that commitment your Cooperative initiated a scholarship program
in 1976 to assist area students by annually providing four $400 scholarships
to local junior colleges.
In
2001, the Cooperative’s Board of Trustees elected to expand our Commitment
to Community through participation in a program known as the “Youth to
Washington Tour”.
Twenty
three area high schools are invited to participate by encouraging their
junior and senior students to write a one page essay on the subject, “Why
I would like to visit Washington, D. C.”
Participating
schools select the best essay written by their students and forward that
essay to SouthEastern for evaluation by Cooperative staff.
The
composers of the two best essays will get to participate in a one week,
expense paid tour to our Nation’s capital.
Local
schools, teachers and students interested in participating in this event
should contact Dustin Tripp at 1-800-833-2611, ext. 166 for more specific
information. |
