2011 TALQUIN YOUTH TOUR
Twenty high school juniors representing local schools in Gadsden, Leon, Liberty and Wakulla County were selected to participate in the Talquin Electric Youth Tour last February at the state capital. Students were chosen to participate in the Youth Tour based on academics, leadership, communication skills and volunteer service in their schools and communities. Four students and one alternate were selected from this group of outstanding student leaders to represent Talquin at the NRECA National Youth Tour in Washington, D.C. this summer. National delegates chosen were McLin Lamb and Grace Shipman, North Florida Christian School, Stephen McIrvin, Amos P. Godby High School, Maulin Patel, Robert F. Munroe, and Alex Gay, Robert F. Munroe as alternate. These delegates traveled to Washington D.C. in June where they met with about 1500 students from all over the United States. They spent five days learning about cooperatives and democracy and visited historic landmarks during the tour.
