WRVEC Announces Operation Round-Up Scholarship Recipients

An area electric cooperative announces the recipients of their annual scholarship program.

White River Valley Electric Cooperative has coordinated the "Operation Round-Up" Program for 31 years according to a release from the cooperative posted by KTLO.
