A Morning of Pancakes, Smiles and Appreciation for the Members Who Power Our Cooperative
Thank you to our members who joined us at our Member Appreciation Pancake Feed on Saturday, August 2! We enjoyed meeting you, celebrating community and eating a delicious breakfast!
Nearly 1,600 members joined us at the Freeport Community Center for pancakes and sausage, prepared by the Kimball Lions Club. In addition to breakfast, we gave away school supplies to all children who came to the event through our School Supply Send-Off. We hope these supplies provide a great start for families preparing for the new school year.
Members also got to meet our electricians and our linemen, learn about their gear and equipment, and sit in a bucket truck.
Thank you to the Kimball Lions Club for a delicious breakfast and thank you to our water sponsor, Magnifi Financial.
SAYING THANKS
Through our annual member appreciation event, we aim to create a family-friendly experience for our member-consumers and express our appreciation for your patronage throughout the year. Thank you again to all who attended.
We look forward to seeing you at the Member Appreciation Pancake Feed again next year on August 1, 2026! We can’t wait to host you in a new location – our NEW operations center and headquarters in Melrose!
