We at Morgan County REA are focused on providing safe, dependable electricity to our members. This is a tradition we’ve continued for nearly 90 years, and a mission we commit to every day. Whether MCREA has powered your home for generations or you’re new to our community — here, you are more than just a customer. You are one of nearly 5,000 member-owners who shape and strengthen our cooperative and we are proud to serve you.
A cornerstone of MCREA is the annual meeting held each March. This meeting keeps members informed about the status of the cooperative and offers an opportunity to engage in the decisions that guide MCREA. On behalf of the board of directors, MCREA employees, and myself, I invite all members to join us for MCREA’s 89th Annual Meeting, which will take place by phone call at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17.
Telephone Town Hall — a Colorado-based telecommunications service — will facilitate the meeting. This format has proven to be an effective way to conduct the association’s business while expanding accessibility for our members. Instead of having to attend in person, members can participate from anywhere, allowing them to receive important updates about the co-op and gives them the opportunity to ask questions. Hosting our annual meeting by phone also eliminates any issues posed by winter weather.
Of course, no MCREA annual meeting is complete without prizes, and this year you have the chance to win some great ones. Members listening to the meeting will be entered to win the grand prize — a Ryobi 40-volt electric snow blower. There is also a $250 gift card up for grabs. And don’t forget, each year we draw one name from our entire membership. If that member is on the call, they will receive a $1,000 cash prize. Now that would make for a lucky St. Patrick’s Day!
Members are encouraged to register for the annual meeting by clicking the banner on our homepage at https://mcrea.org.
If you register, you’ll be entered into a separate drawing to win local gift cards in the weeks leading up to our meeting — be sure to sign up early.
While we are looking forward to speaking with you at the annual meeting, we are also already making plans for our Member Appreciation Picnic this summer. Our annual picnic will take place at MCREA headquarters on Wednesday, June 10. I hope you’ll join us there for a great meal and the chance to visit with neighbors and friends at your cooperative.
We look forward to connecting with you at both events.
