Last week we had the privilege to attend Youth Day in Springfield with 11 high school juniors from across our service territory.

We were able to meet with Senator McClure on the senate floor, as well as Representatives Regan Deering, Brad Halbrook, and Wayne Rosenthal. The students were able to engage in conversation and learn more about cooperatives!

At the end of the day the students were able to interview for a chance to attend the Youth to Washington Tour this summer. Youth Tour is a week long trip to Washington D.C where they will get the opportunity to explore the nation’s capital up close, learn about the political process, and interact with their elected officials. Josiah Porter and Kennedy Bowker, both from Pana, were the winners. Congratulations!!
