North Georgia EMC distributes
energy-saving trees
N
orth Georgia Electric Membership Corp. (EMC) in Dalton gave away 200 trees
to its members on May 12 as part of the Arbor Day Foundation's Energy-Saving
Trees program.
Members who registered on a first-come, first-served basis were able to select one
of four types of trees: serviceberry, river birch, sugar maple or arrowwood viburnum.
The trees came in 2-gallon pots or with root bundles.
North Georgia EMC also demonstrated its
commitment to increasing tree plantings in its
service territory by planting trees recently at three
Dalton schools: Beaverdale Elementary School,
Pleasant Grove Elementary School and North
Whitfield Middle School.
One of the cooperative's goals is to help
members plant the right trees in the right locations
in order to provide energy-saving shade during hot
summer months.
For more information about how to save energy
North Georgia EMC employees

Whitfi eld County recently.

also offers a tree-planting guide on its website at

EMC line crews, apprentices
showcase skills
C
rews from Georgia's
electric membership
cooperatives (EMCs)
excelled at the 2022 Georgia
Lineman's Rodeo on May 7
at the FFA Camp John Hope
in Perry.
Nineteen EMC journeyman
teams and 50 EMC apprentices
participated in this year's rodeo.
EMC linemen competed from
Carroll EMC in Carrollton, Cobb
EMC (Marietta), Flint Energies
(Reynolds), GreyStone Power (Hiram), Habersham EMC (Clarkesville), Jackson EMC
(Jefferson) and Snapping Shoals EMC (Covington).
A journeyman team consisting of Kaleb Chapman, Matthew Tolar and Jeremy
Flint Energies in Reynolds sent a team of competitors
to the Georgia Lineman's Rodeo on May 7. Journeyman
teams and apprentices from seven EMCs participated.
All for YALLS: Jackson Electric Membership Corp.
(EMC) in Jefferson donated $50,000 to the Young
Adults Learning Life Skills (YALLS) Program, a
division of Lawrenceville-based Special Needs
Schools of Gwinnett, which serves young people
with disabilities as they transition into adulthood
and careers. The donation will support a
comprehensive renovation that will create the
Jackson EMC YALLS Life Skills Development
Center and include partnerships with organizations
like CUSA Hospitality, a hospitality
management firm in Kennesaw that will furnish
the space with authentic fixtures, aid in the
creation of training programs and provide
on-the-job learning opportunities. Similar
partnerships are being formed to support the
culinary and food-service training programs.
Empowering the future: Carroll EMC in
Carrollton awarded nine $5,000 scholarships to
aspiring lineworkers through its Lineman School
Scholarship. The cooperative has awarded the
scholarship since 2017, and it has provided
some or all of the money to train 34 electrical
lineworkers.
Garden growers: Diverse Power in LaGrange
donated $2,023.83 in Operation Round Up funds
to Clearview Elementary School in LaGrange
on May 4. The funds will be used to establish a
garden club at the school. In Operation Round
Up, members opt to round their monthly bills
to the next dollar, and the difference goes into
a fund that supports charitable causes in the
community.
Adams from Jackson EMC took first place, while teams from Cobb EMC earned second
(Lance Ballenger, Wesley Thames and Bobby White) and third (Austin Cunningham,
Clayton Patterson and Jeremy McBrayer) place. Among apprentices, the first-place
finisher was Colby Chapman of Snapping Shoals EMC, followed by Morgan Garrison
from Cobb EMC and Rick Riggin from Flint Energies.
For more than 25 years, the Georgia Lineman's Rodeo has been popular with
utility workers and the public. The family-friendly event gives linemen an opportunity
to showcase their unique skills and talent before family and friends.
-Chaney Wynne
Scholarship funds: The Americus-based Sumter
EMC Foundation awarded a $5,000 grant to the
South Georgia Technical College Foundation to
continue a scholarship program endowed by
the cooperative's foundation. The funds, which
came from Sumter EMC's Operation Round Up
program, will go toward scholarships for students
in the electrical lineworker, industrial electrical
and/or drafting technology programs at the
Americus college.
