BEMIDJI -- Beltrami Electric Cooperative is seeking applications for the Touchstone Energy Community Award, which recognizes businesses, non-profit and community groups that have shown a strong commitment to the community. Any organization that has helped make their community with the areas served by Beltrami Electric a better place to live and work is eligible for the $500 cash award.
Community members may nominate an organization, association or business by completing an application form, available at Beltrami Electric Cooperative, 4111 Technology Dr. NW, Bemidji, or online at www.beltramielectric.com . The application will require a description of the project, program or event and the positive impact it brought to the community.
