A Trip To The Zoo!
Cooperative Living magazine’s 18th annual Youth Art Contest is now underway and all youthful artists are invited to show us your best work!
The theme for this year’s Youth Art Contest is “A Trip to the Zoo.” Artwork entries should reflect the young artist’s conception of that theme.
The contest is open to all children in kindergarten through fifth grade. There are three winners in each grade category — first, second and third place. All winning entries will be published in the July issue of Cooperative Living.
First-place winners in each category will receive a $25 gift card. The entry judged best in show from all categories will receive a $100 gift card and will be featured on the cover of the July issue.
Deadline for entries is May 4. For entry rules and guidelines, click here: www.co-opliving.com/contests/youth-art/
Electric co-ops in Virginia made their presence known Jan. 9 at the annual Virginia Agribusiness Council Legislative Appreciation Banquet, traditionally one of the most important events held in conjunction with the yearly kickoff of the General Assembly.
More than 100 electric co-op leaders packed 21 tables as the single largest segment among nearly 1,000 attendees, including representatives from government and the private sector who highlighted the importance of agribusiness to the Virginia economy.
The evening included a reception with samples of Virginia’s Finest products from peanuts to to oysters to sweets to wine, and a buffet-style dinner featuring Virginia products.
Banquet sponsors included Rappahannock Electric Cooperative Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative NOVEC Northern Neck Electric Cooperative Prince George Electric Cooperative A&N Electric Cooperative Central Virginia Electric Cooperative Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and Virginia's Electric Cooperatives

We love getting feedback from readers!
Susan Gay sent us an email about the Virginia Legislative Guide that was included in her January issue of Cooperative Living magazine. She wrote, "I want to communicate how much we appreciate and enjoy the Cooperative Living magazine each month. We particularly appreciate the January issue with the informative Virginia Legislative Guide. A recent poll indicated that the vast majority of Americans were unable to list the three branches of government, so this is most helpful! Love your recipes too. We are proud to be cooperative members."
Thanks for your letter and comments, Susan! If you have something you'd like to say, feel free to email us at [email protected] To view the Guide, click here: www.co-opliving.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2020-legislative-guide_rev1-8.pdf
