America’s electric cooperatives have designated the second Monday of April as National Lineman Appreciation Day.
April 11, 2016, Duck River Electric Membership Corporation (DREMC), will honor the dedicated employees who work to keep the lights on.
DREC proudly recognize all electric linemen for the services they perform around the clock in dangerous conditions to keep power flowing and protect the public’s safety.
“Electric linemen don’t always receive the recognition they deserve,” said DREMC President/CEO Michael Watson. “They work all hours of the day, often in hazardous conditions, far from their families, going above and beyond to restore power to their communities. Our linemen, as well as linemen from across the nation, truly deserve this special day of recognition.”
To honor the DREMC linemen, each district office will have an internal Lineman Appreciation Day breakfast or lunch on April 11.
Also, we’d like our members to send cards to our linemen in appreciation for the hard work that they do to keep the lights on. Send cards to DREMC Member Relations Specialist Claire Sellers at PO Box 89, Shelbyville, TN 37162. Please put your local DREMC office on the inside of the card. The deadline is March 31. The linemen will open their cards on Lineman Appreciation Day.
