The 2012 Annual Membership Meeting, Thursday, June 14, 2012, 7 p.m. at the Broyhill Civic Center in Lenoir

The annual meeting has traditionally been the avenue for members to vote for their Board of Directors as well as an opportunity to learn about their cooperative. To give members more convenience and opportunities to participate in the election, last year we added a “vote by mail” option with overwhelming response by our members! The effort was so successful that it has presented new ways to save our members money by reducing costs associated with the annual meeting.

The following changes were approved by your Board of Directors in order to continue holding down costs for our members while giving you even more convenient, modern ways to vote for your directors:

• The annual meeting will be held in Lenoir on Thursday, June 14, 2012 at 7 PM.
• It will change to strictly a business meeting format with financial and other key reports, including board election results.
• Annual meeting prizes, registration gifts, food, fairs and entertainment will be eliminated.
• Members will be encouraged to vote for their directors by returning the form sent in the mail or by voting online with the new internet option.
• Members who vote by mail or internet prior to June 6 will be eligible to win a 32 inch HD TV. Four HD TV’s will be awarded (one per District).

More information about director elections and the annual meeting will be added to this website and included your member newsletter, Membership Matters, and in Carolina Country magazine sent to all members.
