Congratulations to Jackqueline Westman on her Ravalli County Co-Op Washington D.C. Youth Tour Award.    Jacqueline will attend a prestigious event in which thousands of high school juniors and seniors from across the nation join in Washington, D.C., to gain an understanding of our nation’s history and the freedoms we enjoy, as well as the many costs of those freedoms. The tour is designed to provide an opportunity for outstanding rural young people to better understand the value of rural electrification. It familiarizes you with the historic and political environment of our nation’s capital through first-hand looks at monuments, historically significant national sites, and government buildings. Students will also visit with elected officials giving them a better understanding of the federal government, the political process, and democracy in general. But perhaps most significantly, the tour gives us an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of out-standing young people from rural communities.  Congratulations
