Stacks of Fun!

August 21, 2023

Thank you to all who joined us at our Member Appreciation Pancake Feed on Saturday, August 5. We had a great day meeting our members, celebrating community and eating a delicious breakfast!

Nearly 1,700 members joined us at the Freeport Community Center for pancakes and sausage, prepared by Kimball Lions Club. In addition to breakfast, we offered a School Supply Send-Off to all children who came to the event. This was a great start for families preparing for the new school year!

Members also had the chance to meet our linemen, learn about their safety gear and sit in a bucket truck.

Thank you, Wild Country 99, for broadcasting live from the event and thank you to our water sponsor, Magnifi Financial, and our milk sponsor, Stearns County American Dairy Association.

$3 MILLION OPERATION ROUND UP® CELEBRATION

Community is important to the Cooperative, and this year we celebrated our members’ commitment to community through our Operation Round Up® (ORU) program! In July, the ORU program awarded its three millionth dollar to local non-profit organizations, community service programs and worthy causes.

Through ORU, participating members round up their electric bills to the nearest dollar. The funds are put in a Trust Fund and used to provide grants within our 2,000-mile service territory. Thank you to all of the members who participate in this program. Your small change makes a BIG difference.

SAYING THANKS

Our goal for each member appreciation event is to create a family-friendly experience for our member-consumers and express our appreciation for your patronage throughout the year.

We were so excited to see you all this year and look forward to hosting the Member Appreciation Pancake Feed again next year!
