The Tri-County Electric Cooperative 76th Annual Meeting was held in Mount Vernon on Saturday. Director of Members Services Bruce Barkau says there were 975 members that attended, but many brought family members, so there were approximately 1,550 in attendance. There were 3 elections for Board positions and both Rick Russell of Washington County and Sam Phillips of Marion County were unopposed, while in Jefferson County, incumbent Donnie Laird won the election over Mark Kash. Capital credit checks with refunds from the years 1986 and 1987 were available at the meeting, but Barkau says if you were not able to attend, the checks will be mailed out early this week, so you should get them soon.
