Our 81st Annual Meeting took place on August 20th at Laurens Central School, marking another successful gathering. This year, we welcomed over 120 registered members to ensure quorum, along with more than 200 guests who joined us for an enjoyable day. Attendees savored a delicious Brooks Chicken BBQ Dinner, enjoyed live music performed by local musicians Sarah McGuire and John Hopper, and explored a vibrant vendor fair featuring a diverse selection of local products and services aimed at supporting our community.
During our business meeting, members received important updates on our ongoing projects, upcoming initiatives, and the challenges we face—such as legislative hurdles and rising material costs. Members present also had the opportunity to participate in the democratic process by voting for open seats on our Board of Directors. This year, Steven Child and Patrick Hooker were elected to fill two of those positions.
We sincerely appreciate every member’s involvement, as being a member-owner grants you a voice in how our cooperative is managed and who leads it. If you haven’t attended a meeting before, be on the lookout for information in early spring about our 2026 gathering. All members attending the meeting received a bill credit as a thank you for their participation and had the chance to win a variety of door prizes!
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
