MLEC Hosts Annual Meeting
Perry County members join MLEC at Member Night
(November 2, 2023) —Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative hosted its 84th annual meeting at the 2023 Perry County Member Night on October 30 at Perry County High School.
Perry County Director Tommy Graham welcomed members to start the festivities. John Lee Williams led the Pledge of Allegiance and Josh Hardin of Linden Church of Christ led the innovation. John Carroll served as the temporary chairman and conducted the district’s Member Night portion of the informational meeting. The event served as an opportunity for members to see MLEC’s 2023 Annual Report video, which highlighted service commitments, progress over the past year, reliability upgrade plans, community involvement, and a Meriwether Lewis Connect update.
MLEC then called to order its 84th Annual Meeting directly after the Member Night. Vice-President of Administrative Services and CFO Blake Harper presented an annual report to members that outlined the current state of the cooperative.
The event also served as an opportunity to celebrate local Perry County students. MLEC poster contest winners received their prizes, and MLEC recognized Washington Youth Tour delegate Wyatt Carroll.
Door prize winners were Jason Richardson – one-year membership to the Nashville Zoo; Josh Hardin– bluetooth speaker; Don Westveer– iRobot roomba vacuum/sweeper; Mary Kilpatrick– Blackstone electric grill; Dean Heady– outdoor smokeless firepit; and Jerry Beasley– 50-inch smart TV donated by MLConnect. All meeting attendees received an MLEC weather station.
