Also look for your Capital Credits Check in Your Annual Report
In addition to annual meeting details, your 2007 financial report and executive message, your annual report also contains capital credits information regarding the $2 million capital credits retirement approved by your Board of Directors.
If you’re one of some 20,000 members qualifying for a capital credits refund of $15 or more, be sure to look inside your annual report for your check! This is the way you will receive your capital credits check this year: as an insert inside your annual report. So be sure and open your annual report so that you can cash your check as soon as possible!
If you are one of some 31,000 members qualifying for a capital credits refund of less than $15, you will receive information in your annual report on the bill credit that has already been applied to your bill. If you are a new member who is still accumulating electricity usage to qualify for a capital credits refund, you will find general information about how capital credits works inside your annual report.
The new look for your annual report is designed to better inform members about capital credits as well as provide other key information about your cooperative. Be sure and look for your new format annual report—and possible capital credits check—coming to your mailbox in late May!
