April 13 is Lineworker Appreciation Day. Clay Electric Co-operative is blessed to have some of the most exceptional men working for us that I've had the privilege of knowing. I worked hand in hand with our crews in my career and know firsthand just how much our linemen believe in the cooperative model. Our crews willingly give up time with their families and loved ones to answer the call when our members are out of power. I would like to thank all our linemen and clearance crews for their dedication to our members. I encourage all our members to take a moment to thank a lineman as well.
