YYYooouuuttthhh TTTooouuurrr……… Each year, an essay contest is held for high school juniors whose parents or guardians are members of Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative Corporation. This year, the students wrote an essay entitled “Why I Would Be a Good Youth Tour Representative.” A panel of three judges selected the two winners from the essays submitted. According to Greg Davis, Key Accounts/Member Services Manager of Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative, “the students, along with 42 other Arkansas youth, will travel to Washington D.C. Upon arrival, they will join thousands of other youth from across the United States to tour the city’s landmarks.” Davis said “the purpose of the Youth Tour program is to educate the students about our country and the rural electrification program in order to provide a better understanding of our form of government and the value of rural electric cooperatives.”
Your swimming pool doesn’t have to be a drain on your electric bill. Simply covering it will go a long way to reducing evaporation, which will cut back on refilling and reheating. Also, consider investing in a high-efficiency or multi-speed pool pump when it’s time for a replacement – they cost more but save a lot more energy than older models.
Increased comfort and lower utility bills could be just a click away for electric cooperative members in Arkansas as they are eligible to win the 2013 Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas $50,000 Energy Efficiency Makeover Contest! Grand Prize – Energy Efficiency Makeover valued at up to $50,000. 16 Second Prizes – Energy Star approved GE GeoSpring Hybrid Electric Water Heater. What you’ll need to enter:
• Complete an entry form online or download and print • Answer questions about your residence • An exterior photo of your home • Be a cooperative member in good standing
Entrants must reside in Arkansas, be a member of a participating Arkansas electric cooperative and own and occupy an all-electric home. Deadline to enter is July 15, 2013!
