This has all your account infor­ma­tion on it and will serve as your reg­is­tra­tion card for this year’s annu­al meet­ing. Bring this along with a valid ID to reg­is­ter and vote at one of our two loca­tions: in Fort Mill on Wednes­day, May 3, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., or in York on Sat­ur­day, May 6, 7:30 a.m.–2 p.m.

New loca­tion

For the first time, we will host a new reg­is­tra­tion and vot­ing area in Fort Mill on Wednes­day, May 3, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at our oper­a­tions cen­ter at 2000 High­way 21, right across from Cap­tain Steve’s. To accom­mo­date this new loca­tion for the annu­al meet­ing, our Fort Mill branch office will be closed on May 3.

You’ll find a map on the back of the April issue of South Car­oli­na Liv­ing mag­a­zine to help direct you to this loca­tion if this is the most con­ve­nient option for you to reg­is­ter and vote as a mem­ber of YEC. The same smil­ing faces will be there to help you through the line. Please remem­ber to bring a valid pho­to ID to reg­is­ter for your $25 pow­er bill cred­it and vote as a co-op mem­ber. Addi­tion­al­ly, all per­sons who reg­is­ter in Fort Mill will be includ­ed in all prize draw­ings dur­ing the busi­ness meet­ing, as well as a spe­cial draw­ing for a $500 pow­er bill cred­it for one lucky mem­ber who reg­is­ters at our new loca­tion.

Oldie, but good­ie

Hot dog, the hot dogs are back! This year, we will give away hot dogs to mem­bers in York on Sat­ur­day, May 6 begin­ning at 9 a.m., while sup­plies last. We once again appre­ci­ate the sup­port of the York Rotary Club, who will help us pre­pare 8,000 dogs for our mem­bers. There will be a des­ig­nat­ed sec­tion for mem­bers to pull their cars around after vot­ing and reg­is­tra­tion to receive their free bag of hot dogs.

Reg­is­tra­tion, vot­ing and prizes

Each mem­ber who attends the annu­al meet­ing must bring a valid pho­to ID to reg­is­ter for their $25 pow­er bill cred­it and vote at either our Fort Mill loca­tion on Wednes­day, May 3, or in York at our main office on Sat­ur­day, May 6. Mem­bers are eli­gi­ble to attend one of the two reg­is­tra­tion and vot­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties. Each mem­ber­ship is eli­gi­ble for only one vote and reg­is­tra­tion.
