Record Rain Fall Keeps Co-op from Meeting Annual Meeting quorum requirements


Energy Efficiency Tip of the Month


Let the sun work for you! Consider solar lights for outdoor lighting. Solar cells


convert sunlight into electricity that can be stored in a battery and tapped at night to make light. Check manufacturers’ instructions to make sure your solar lights are situated to receive sufficient sunlight to recharge during the day.

We encountered one of the worst storm and flooding events in the history of LREC’s Annual Meetings. About 8 inches of rain fell during Friday night and Saturday causing massive flooding.


Due to safety concerns,


Emergency Management officials discouraged the public from venturing out unless they had to. Despite all these difficulties, many members of LREC braved the elements and participated in the annual meeting of their cooperative. For the first time in the history of


LREC would like to thank all the members who braved the bad weather to attend


the Annual Meeting of the Membership and voted.


LREC Annual Meetings, we failed to reach the quorum requirements. The state law and the cooperative bylaws require that five per centum of the members present in person shall constitute a quorum. If less than a quorum is present at any meeting, a majority of those present in person may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. We needed 983 members in attendance to achieve the quorum requirement. Unfortunately, the total members in attendance was 928.
