DONGOLA, Ill. -- Two Dongola students won grand prize in the 1996 "Youth to Washington" program sponsored by Southern Illinois Electric Cooperative. Jacob Panici and Cristy Caylao, both students at Dongola, were winners in this year's contest. They will join some 70 other Illinois students for the all-expense-paid trip to the nation's capital, June 14 through 21.
Students wrote essays about "Electric Cooperatives: Meeting the Challenges of Our Future."
