On the morning of September 26, 2015, 166 members of the San Patricio Electric Cooperative gathered at the Bee County Exposition Center to attend the co-op’s annual meeting. Before the annual meeting started, members were able to take part in a free health fair, conducted by Christus Spohn Health Services. Attendees were served a complimentary breakfast of muffins and beverages and were given the opportunity to learn about the co-op through informational displays set up in the expo center.
During the meeting members heard from one of our Youth Tour participants, Anthony McGuill. He shared some of his experience with the members and expressed his gratitude for being afforded the opportunity to attend the all-expenses-paid trip to Washington D.C.
Then General Manager Ron Hughes discussed the implementation of an advanced metering system and some of the benefits and concerns its bringing for the co-op and the members. He also went over the co-op’s use of a call center to take member calls when SPEC is closed. He wrapped up by answering questions on a wide range of topics.
SPEC concluded the meeting by giving away more than 70 prizes to members in attendance.
