Southwest Rural Electric Association, Inc. (SWRE) members are invited to attend the 86th Annual Meeting on Monday, August 21. Drive-thru registration will take place from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. at Hangar 36 in Altus, Oklahoma and Wilbarger County Event Center in Vernon, Texas.

Cooperative members will receive a special mailing the first week of August with the official Annual Meeting Notice and registration card. Members will need to bring their registration card with them to the meeting to expedite registration.

Attendees will be able to participate without leaving their vehicles. Co-op employees will be stationed at each drive-thru location to direct traffic and answer questions. After completing registration, both locations will feature a parking area for members who would like to park and visit with SWRE employees and board members.

All registered members will receive a door prize and $25 Energy Credit on a future electric bill (limit one door prize and credit per membership).

Registered memberships will also be entered into a drawing to win 21 District Energy Credits, various prizes donated by co-op vendors, and the grand-prize electric zero turn lawnmower.

The prize drawing will be held live on Southwest Rural Electric’s Facebook page on Wednesday, August 23 at 9 a.m. Members do not have to be logged into Facebook at the time of the drawing to claim prizes. SWRE employees will contact winners by phone after the drawing.

“SWRE is a cooperative owned by its members. Annual Meeting is an opportunity for members to participate in the business of the co-op,” said CEO Jeff Simpson. “If you’ve never attended our Annual Meeting, or if it’s been a while, please stop by. Our co-op family looks forward to visiting with you!”
