The annual meeting events begin with a fried chicken dinner and end with a brief business meeting. You are welcome to attend whichever meeting is closest to you or works best for your schedule. We ask that you let us know how many people will be attending, so we have plenty of food ready for you. Visit our registration page to let us know which day you plan to attend. You can also call us at 800-824-5102 to let us know you will be joining us. The free meal is served between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and you are welcome to come anytime during that two hour time frame. We do encourage you to bring your appetite!
While you eat, music will be provided by Jimm Wood. We will also host a seminar at 4:30 p.m. put on by a Master Gardener. In previous years, those seminars have been informative and enjoyable, so make sure to catch their presentation. Have questions about the rate restructuring? We will be holding a Q&A on the rate restructuring at each event starting at 5:15 p.m.! Beginning at 6 p.m., the business meeting of the cooperative will begin. Kevin Moore, Chairman of the Board of Directors will lead the meeting and give members an update on the business of the cooperative over the past year.
You may be asking yourself, why should I attend one of the annual meeting events? Here are a few reasons why:
MEET and EAT! - Annual Meeting Events are wonderful opportunities to reconnect with friends and neighbors and interact with co-op directors and employees. As a community event, all members are welcome and encouraged to attend and enjoy a delicious fried chicken meal.
LEARN! - We believe it is important to learn something new every day, no matter your age! During the business meeting, you’ll get an update about the co-op, find out what’s been happening, what’s new, and what’s planned for the future.
VOTE! - Every year, three of our nine board members are up for re-election. At the annual meeting event, you’ll be given a ballot for your board of directors, who are fellow co-op members, just like you, who have volunteered their time and service to serve on the co-op board. The board creates policies that directly impact you and all co-op members. Visit our election page to get more information about our board candidates and to view a sample ballot.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming annual meeting events. Register today to attend!
