A record crowd of more than 6,000 people attended Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative's annual meeting on Friday night at Lexington High School.

During the meeting, the cooperative recognized Lois Shealy of Gilbert and Betty Ann Shealy of Chapin, recent retirees from MCEC Trust Board. "Both women served your Cooperative on the Trust Board since 1994," said MCEC CEO Jack F. Wolfe, "and have been shining examples of what devotion to one's fellow man means to all of us."

Congressman Joe Wilson introduced a delegation of residents from Russia who are visiting in the United States on a political study tour.

Lexington County Councilman Billy Derrick and Assistant County Administrator and Human Resource Director Katherine Doucett also participated in the meeting by awarding MCEC employees Jimmy Grandy and Michael Swygert with the Citizenship Award from Lexington County Fire Service. Grandy and Swygert assisted the fire service recently in rescuing a local resident.

They are Jonathan Aun, Lexington High School, Jessica Nash, Gilbert High School, Azra Aslam, Airport High School, Andrew Mills, Saluda High School, Jeffrey Davis, Batesburg-Leesville High School, Andrea Barr, Ridge-Spring Monetta High School, Natalie Wessinger, Chapin High School, and Patrick Teague, Irmo High School.
