The holidays are a time of year that many of us eagerly anticipate. There are delicious foods, colorful decorations, and fabulous festivities. Right here in our community, we look forward to the Christmas parades, lighting ceremonies and much more. We cherish old family traditions and enjoy creating new ones. For me personally, I look forward to more time spent with family and friends. Despite the hustle and bustle of the season, the holidays also offer an opportunity to slow down and reflect. From all of us at Medina Electric Cooperative, we are grateful for you, our members. One of our founding principles as a co-op is Concern for Community. While our main focus is providing safe, reliable and affordable energy, we also want to support our friends and neighbors—to help our community thrive.
Reflection
In looking back at this past year, I’m grateful we were able to make a positive impact in the community. Through several programs like Operation Round Up and our employee Volunteer Time Off program, your cooperative and its employees helped make our corner of Texas better. We’re also grateful for the opportunity to partner with local schools to raise awareness about the importance of electrical safety. And we continue to work closely with local high schools to share our Youth Tour program and award college scholarships to deserving students. These are just some of the ways we show our commitment to our community, alongside providing information about saving energy to lower bills, assessing if solar power is right for you and sharing safety tips. We want you to know we’re here to help.
What’s Next
Looking ahead to 2024, we hope you’ll share your feedback with us. We recognize that our members bring valuable perspective, and that’s why we continually seek your input. Whether through our customer satisfaction surveys, community events, our social media channels, or the annual meeting, we want to hear from you. We’re led by you—the members of the co-op—and we depend on your feedback. As we prepare for next year, we look forward to the opportunity to serve you and the greater community. On behalf of the entire Medina EC family, we hope your holidays are indeed merry and bright.
Until next time,
Trey Grebe
