FRED provides an array of opportunities for rural communities and their            citizens. FRED scholarships have helped students in rural communities            obtain college educations. The related Ethyl Grants have helped rural            communities rejuvenate themselves. I learned a great deal about FRED,            while editing the pictures and voiceover into a video that was shown            at the OPASTCO summer conference. <\/p>\n<p onclick=\"MM_openBrWindow('http:\/\/www.fred.org','','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')\">The            script put together by <strong>Melissa Korzuch<\/strong> and <strong>Mindy            Atwood<\/strong> of FRED provides great detail about FRED\u2019s various            programs. <strong>Scot Johnson<\/strong>, a graduating high school senior            and recipient of a FRED award, did an <strong>amazing job<\/strong> with            the voiceover. After listening and working with him on this project,            it was understandable why he was a recipient of FRED scholarship. It            was a fun project and I encourage all who are involved with independent            telcos to go to <a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"MM_openBrWindow('http:\/\/www.fred.org','','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes')\">http:\/\/www.fred.org<\/a>            to learn more about this important organization.<\/p>\n<p>For all suppliers out there, this video will be available as <strong>licensed            content for video demonstration purposes<\/strong>.
