Trenton, MO., December 18, 2009 – Grundy Electric Cooperative (GEC) announces that it will sponsor an essay opportunity for three area youth to represent GEC and their school on a trip to the 2010 Cooperative Youth Conference and Leadership Experience (C.Y.C.L.E.) to be held July 14-16, 2010 in Jefferson City, Missouri. High school juniors whose parents reside within Grundy Electric Cooperative’s service territory are eligible.
The three-day conference brings together some of the brightest young leaders from across Missouri. The focus is to teach students more about electric cooperatives, enhance leadership skills and experience Missouri state government. The program includes nationally known speakers and a day at the state Capitol. There is also time for some fun things like an outdoor barbecue and team competitions in various events such as the “Build a Cooperative” game.
Students will be required to submit a typewritten, double-spaced 1,000 word essay on the subject, “Our Energy Our Future”. The essay must be original, show subject knowledge with correct grammar and be neat in appearance.
Representatives will be notified March 30, 2010. For more details please contact Grundy Electric Cooperative toll-free at 1-800-279-2249 or (660) 359-3941, extension 23 or 33.
