Moving forward
How is everyone? Of course, I’m asking because COVID-19 has kept many of us from visiting with family, friends and our members. This pandemic has separated all of us from our favorite people, kept us from going to restaurants and church and has even made buying necessities difficult. It has been anything but business as […]
Don’t wait–be prepared before the storm
It’s your worst-case scenario. A major storm was predicted and this time, the predictions were right. Many power lines are down, and your electricity may be out for several days.

And just think: If all members round up, we […]

All systems go as we finish out another good year
As we approach the end of 2019, I’d like to update you, our members, on some of our projects and accomplishments this year. Little River began installing an AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) system in late 2019. Now near completion, this project will provide us with a lot of valuable data. The system will allow us […]
