Here we are at the end of 2022! October marked my one-year anniversary at Little River Electric Cooperative. So much has happened this past year. We wrapped up a great Annual Meeting in September. Thank you to the 1,123 members that came out to register and vote. As a result, the new Bylaws passed with […]
General Manager
Celebrating membership
Fall is a busy time, and October is a particularly eventful month with school, community, and sports activities in full swing. It’s also when all cooperatives celebrate National Co-op Month. The cooperative business model has been around since the 19th century, and it’s used successfully in many different industries—grocery, agriculture, and utility, just to name […]
More than a field trip
If you’re ever fortunate enough to look through the portals atop the Washington Monument, you’d see all our nation’s capital—the museums, the monuments, the history, and the opportunities. In June, a student from our area got to experience much of what Washington, D.C. has to offer—including the view from above—thanks to Little River Electric. Dixie […]
Vote to reduce board size
During Little River Electric Cooperative’s 2022 Annual Meeting event in September, the Board of Trustees will ask for the members’ vote to reduce the number of Trustees from a maximum of ten under the current Bylaws to an eventual and fixed number of seven under the proposed new Bylaws. When fully implemented, this change is […]

It’s easy to take electricity for granted and forget how dangerous it can be. Caution is especially urged when using backup generators. If you use a backup generator […]
2022 Annual Meeting set for Sept. 17
It’s that time of year again! We are in the planning stages of Little River’s 82nd Annual Meeting. Back by popular demand, we will have drive-thru registration and voting. The overwhelming feedback is our members love the convenience and the abundance of safety the ability to remain in your vehicle provides. Look for registration dates […]
Thank a lineman in April
The second Monday in April is recognized as Lineman Appreciation Day by the electric cooperatives. While our linemen are recognized on this day, they should be acknowledged and appreciated throughout the year for the tireless hours they put in doing one of the most dangerous jobs. In fact, we designate the entire month of April […]
Cooperation among cooperatives
Cooperatives around the world operate according to the same set of seven core principles and values, adopted by the International Co-operative Alliance. By working together through local, national, regional, and international structures, cooperatives improve services, bolster local economies and deal more effectively with social and community needs. Every day, Little River is hard at work […]
Five reasons we love serving our members
February may be the shortest month, but it’s packed with special observances such as Presidents Day, Black History Month, and Valentine’s Day. While it may seem Valentine’s Day was created by a greeting card company, it isn’t just for the lovebirds. It’s also the perfect time to let our friends, family, coworkers, and other special […]
