It emphasizes the values of service, commitment, and resilience that were exemplified by the employees, who not only restored power but also fostered hope and unity within the community. The resolution concludes with a provision to present a copy of the resolution to the employees of Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative as a token of appreciation for their outstanding efforts.
