Horry Electric Cooperative accepting applications for Youth Tour 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 21, 2008 -- Attention all high school juniors at all high schools in Horry County, South Carolina!

Horry Electric Cooperative is seeking qualified candidates to compete for the opportunity to represent the Cooperative, their high school and our community in Washington, D.C. as an Horry Electric delegate of the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour, which is scheduled for June 14-19.

Information packages have been sent to JUNIOR class guidance counselors at each high school in Horry County. The package includes applications and detailed information about the trip.

Grade point averages are not a consideration in qualifying as a candidate for this competition. All we’re looking for is high school juniors who are interested in rural electrification, the cooperative business model and who are interested in learning about how our government works. Individual scores on a written test and personal interview will be calculated to determine which two students will be selected from the pool of applicants.

For more information, please contact Toni Gore by phone at 369-6359 or e-mail toni.gore@horryelectric.com.
