Celebrating our 50,000th account

Clau­dia Mady bought a house in Fort Mill to live clos­er to her daugh­ter. The move came with a bonus: Mrs. Mady won spe­cial prizes for being York Elec­tric’s 50,000th account.

On Dec. 15, we award­ed her $1,000 and made a dona­tion of $500 to her favorite char­i­ty. When I told her about the $500, I learned what a spe­cial per­son was receiv­ing our spe­cial gifts. Mrs. Mady asked if I could rec­om­mend a local orga­ni­za­tion so she could help folks in her new com­mu­ni­ty. I sug­gest­ed the Fort Mill Care Cen­ter, which our Oper­a­tion Round Up pro­gram also sup­ports. Mrs. Mady did­n’t hes­i­tate: “Then that’s where it’s going,” she replied.

I was­n’t sur­prised. The mem­ber ser­vice rep­re­sen­ta­tives at our Fort Mill office had told us what a sweet lady she is. True to form, Mrs. Mady returned their com­pli­ment: “They made me know that this is where I was sup­posed to be and that this was all going to work out,” she said.

We also shared a laugh about how it all came togeth­er. The co-op had been close­ly mon­i­tor­ing new account hook-ups for weeks to deter­mine who would open our 50,000th. At first, when Mrs. Mady got our call that she was the win­ner, she thought she was being scammed. She called the local sher­if­f’s office! Reas­sur­ing her that the prize was the real deal, we sent our most expe­ri­enced ser­vice­man, 43-year YEC vet­er­an Vic Wil­form, to con­nect her ser­vice.

Spe­cial thanks to Mrs. Mady—and to the 49,999 co-op accounts that came before her!
