“Decatur County REMC is pleased to provide this opportunity for our local youth,” Brett

the sites, make new friends and learn how everyone, even young people, can make a difference
in the political process.”

opportunity to meet with Indiana’s congressional delegation to ask questions and share their
thoughts on a variety of timely issues.
