Nathan Crews of Marshall and Kate Smith of Hume represented EnerStar Power in Washington, D.C., during the annual “Youth to Washington” Tour, June 8-15. This event, sponsored by the electric and telephone cooperatives of Illinois, began in the late 1950s to introduce rural youths

to our democratic form of government and cooperatives.

The students met with Senator Dick Durbin and were among 57 rural Illinois youth leaders

selected for the trip. In addition to the Capitol, they also visited the White House, Arlington

National Cemetery, the National Cathedral, the Smithsonian Museums, the U.S. Holocaust

Memorial Museum, the World War II Memorial, George Washington’s estate at Mt. Vernon and a number of other historical sites.
