The Annual Meeting of the members of columbus Electric was held on April 5, 2008 at the Animas School Auditorium. Bill Miller, Board Secretary-Treasurer reported that the Cooperative met all the financial ratios required by our lenders. Reports were also presented by Board President, Hal Keeler and Executive Vice-President/General Manager Michael D. Fletcher.

Re-elected to the Board of Trustees were: Hal Keeler, District No. 2; Randy Massey, District No. 3; Bill Cloud District No. 4.

Our thanks and appreciation goes to the Cotton City 4-H Group who once again prepared an excellent meal.

In 2007, the Cooperative in conjunction with Tri-State G&T sponsored an Irrigation Efficiency Workshop. Many of our members have asked if we would host a similar but more advance workshop.

In an effort to accommodate this request we need to know how many people would be interested in attending this type of workshop. If there is enough interest, we would plan on having the workshop sometime this summer. Please contact our office if you are interested in this training program.
