Amber Adams Values Cooperative Membership


By JuliAnn Graham, Communication Specialist “F


amily-like, community based and locally owned company,” Amber Adams said in response to the Quarterly Question online. The question was, “What does being a cooperative member mean to you?” Amber’s was one of many great responses that were entered in a random drawing for a $50


bill credit on the member’s May bill. Amber’s position with the Parent-Child Connections program through the OSU Extension office ends in June, so she was pleased with winning the prize. “Because I won’t have a position in July, I’m being more cautious with my spending,” Adams


said. “I’ll save the money that would have gone toward my electric bill for other expenses.” Adams resides in Guymon with her boyfriend Herbie Metcalf. They have a terrier mix dog,


Rusty, that will be 21 years old, as well as, a cat, Mama Kitty. Adams is a graduate of OPSU and has lived in Guymon for 12 years. She said she’s seen


Tri-County Electric in the community at events like the Panhandle Lions Total Living Show. She’s also seen evidence of the cooperative’s charitable giving in the Guymon Daily Herald. “Tri-County Electric has also donated to the Parent-Child Connections program that I


work for,” she said. “I value so many aspects of being a cooperative member. Tri-County Electric is local and really good about working with people who need help with their bills.” Adams said she heard about the cooperative’s Quarterly Question drawing on its Facebook


page, www.facebook.com/tricountyelectric. The contest is also promoted on the cooperative’s website at www.tri-countyelectric.coop. Some other terrific responses submitted for the contest were:
