Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative will host its 81st annual meeting Friday, June 7. Co-op members are invited to the Centuria office, 1001 State Road 35 for fair-style food, giveaways, activities and prizes. A member appreciation open house will be held from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by the annual meeting from 3 to 4 p.m.

Member Appreciation Open House 1 - 3 p.m.
Open house activities for all ages include bucket trucks rides, face painting, bean bag toss, lineman selfie photos and a kids electricity station. Guests can meet Polk-Burnett’s Solar Sam mascot and learn about the co-op’s new SunTuria Solar development. The 10-acre array is the first utility-scale solar in Polk and Burnett counties. 

Co-op members and guests can also meet their co-op board directors, co-op linemen and employees, as well as representatives from other local cooperatives, including Royal Credit Union and Wisconsin Farmers Union.

“The open house is a great time to ask questions and learn about your electric service and the benefits of co-op membership,” said Polk-Burnett General Manager Steve Stroshane.

The first 1,000 adults to register at Polk-Burnett’s June 7 annual meeting and member appreciation day will receive an insulated tote bag, and the first 100 kids will receive a $5 DQ gift card.

Food will be served from 1 to 3 p.m. Join us for root beer floats, kettle corn, mini donuts, cheese curds and BBQ pork sliders provided by local food trucks.

All members who attend will be entered into a prize drawing for a 32” LED television, a 32GB Wi-Fi iPad, plus one of 10 $50 electric bill credits.  Winners will be randomly selected from all who register.

Annual Meeting, 3 - 4 p.m.
The annual meeting will begin at 3 p.m. We invite you to stay for the 2019 state-of-the-cooperative report by Board President Ed Gullickson and General Manager Steve Stroshane, a Q & A member forum and results of the 2019 board election in districts 4, 5 and 6. 

“We look forward to gathering with co-op members to share our appreciation,” said Polk-Burnett Board President Ed Gullickson. “As a co-op, Polk-Burnett exists to serve you, and this is your chance to get to know your co-op directors and employees, learn about co-op performance and provide feedback. We are always looking to improve our service to you and your family.”

“The cooperative was established 81 years ago in 1938 with lines, poles and the notion we all prosper by helping each other. Today, that cooperative spirit continues. We hope you’ll join us Friday, June 7,” added Gullickson.

Annual meeting and open house guests are asked to enter Polk-Burnett's on the north side of the building. Registration begins at 1 p.m.  For more information, call 800-421-0283.
