77th REC Day full of suprises and fun N
ortheast Oklahoma Electric Coopera ve members who a end the organiza on’s 77th
annual mee ng can expect to have the usual great me. They can also expect a few changes.
REC Day will return to the Grove Civic Center on Saturday, September 19, 2015. Registra on runs from 8 a.m. un l noon. Each member household will receive a special edi on REC hat and fl eece travel blanket just for registering.
“They say diff erent is be er, so we are shaking things up a li le,” said Cindy Hefner, NEOEC’s Manager of Public Rela ons. “Hopefully, our members will be as excited as we are about the new ideas we’ve incorporated into this year’s REC Day.”
Be it entertainment, food, a rac ons or prizes, there will be something new for everyone to enjoy at the big annual event. One exci ng change is the addi on of a car show for 2015. Owners of 1970s muscle cars are invited to cruise on over to Grove for a shot at some nice prizes. The car show is limited to the fi rst 50 entrants. Register today by contac ng show organizer Roxann Wilson at 918-256-9323 or emailing: roxann.
wilson@neelectric.com. A copy of the registra on form is included on page 12.
A new style of entertainment also awaits co-op members. In keeping with a 70s theme, disco tribute band Superfreak will take center stage at the civic center for a groovin’ good me. One of the ho est, most-requested dance bands in the country, Superfreak has performed on Broadway, the Tonight Show, and TNN -- just to name
a few. They’ll deliver an entertaining show, complete with stage ligh ng, colorful costumes and choreography. The band will play from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
If disco isn’t your cup of tea, have no fear: REC Day will feature a second stage outdoors this year. Mosey outside near the kidzone and enjoy the bluegrass stylings of Dylan Hall and his band, Pure Tradi on. A na ve of Jay, Hall is a homegrown talent with a knack for pleasing a crowd.
With all of the ac vity, co-op members are sure to work up an appe te. This year’s new-look lunch menu features Frito chili pie and a selec on of cold drinks. A convenient ea ng area will once again be furnished outside under the tent.
Members will be asked to help the coopera ve take care of some business by cas ng a vote for one trustee in each of three districts during the general elec on. While Sharron Gay (District 6) and Bill Kimbrell (District 8) are running unopposed, District 4 will have two candidates from which to choose, including incumbent John Myers and challenger Tom Kemohah. There are no proposed bylaw amendments on this year’s ballot.
It is important to note one change in the registra on process that will be strictly enforced.
“It is impera ve that individuals who register be listed on the account itself,” explained the coopera ve’s Manager of Offi ce Services, Susanne Frost. “This is an important security measure we will be enforcing going forward.”

Once registered, members need not be present to win most prizes (the adult computer is the lone excep on). Names of winners will be announced at the mee ng. If you are one of the lucky winners and aren’t present to claim your prize, the co-op will contact you and let you know within a few days.
