October brings National Cooperative Month Celebration
(September 30, 2025) — October is National Cooperative Month, and as part of the nationwide observance, Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative will celebrate its cooperative principles and commitment to members by hosting an event in each county.
The MLEC 86th Annual Meeting will be in Hickman County along with a district meeting on October 30 at Hickman County High School. A district or informational meeting will also be held in Houston, Humphreys, Lewis and Perry counties, where members in that district can hear MLEC’s annual report, meet poster contest winners and win door prizes.

Fussell, Jr., Wesley Mitchum, and Robert Sugg. (No director’s term expires this year in Perry County.)
Voting and registration for Houston and Humphreys counties will be from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Registration for all other meetings begins at 6:30 p.m. All meetings begin at 7:00 p.m.
