Recently, the US Senate passed a resolution to designate April 18, 2013 as National Lineman Appreciation Day.
In recognition of the day, linemen at Santee Electric Cooperative were served cake and ice cream at 5 p.m. in the Operations Building where other employees joined them to show their appreciation. Branch offices also had refreshments.
'I am proud to be a part of being able to honor these fellows and let them know that we do appreciate all that they do,' Cheryl Wrenn, Personnel/Benefits Specialist said in an e-mail announcing the resolution.
The resolution was printed and hung on the wall where words of thanks were left by other employees.
