Our Annual Meeting has long been a time to come together, connect and celebrate our cooperative. 🎉

These photos take us back to earlier days — with guest speakers, entertainment and members gathering to be part of something bigger than themselves. It’s a tradition rooted in community and the cooperative spirit.

While some things have changed over the years, the purpose remains the same: keeping our members informed, involved and at the heart of everything we do. 💚

Join us this year on June 4 as we continue the tradition. We can’t wait to see you there!
