YEC will cel­e­brate 83 years of ser­vice to the mem­bers of York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive by host­ing their annu­al meet­ing of mem­bers on Wednes­day, May 1 in Tega Cay at Cataw­ba Park locat­ed at 2351 New Gray Rock Rd., and on Fri­day, May 3 and Sat­ur­day, May 4 at YEC’s main office, locat­ed at 1385 East Alexan­der Love High­way in York. Because of a record num­ber of par­tic­i­pants, increased effi­cien­cy and the results of the meet­ing pref­er­ences ques­tion we asked atten­dees last year, the meet­ing will be dri­ve-thru only again this year.

Reg­is­tra­tion and vot­ing for the annu­al meet­ing will be open on Wednes­day, May 1 in Tega Cay from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., on Fri­day, May 3 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., and on Sat­ur­day, May 4, from 9 a.m. until noon. Each mem­ber­ship must choose one of the three avail­able loca­tions to attend for reg­is­tra­tion and vot­ing and each mem­ber­ship is eli­gi­ble for only one reg­is­tra­tion, vote and entry for prize draw­ings. We will host a vir­tu­al busi­ness meet­ing that will stream online at yorkelectric.net and on our Face­book account. A tran­script of the vir­tu­al meet­ing will be avail­able on our web­site for the hear­ing impaired.

Action will be tak­en on the fol­low­ing mat­ters dur­ing the meet­ing:

  1. The report of offi­cers, trustees and com­mit­tees.
  2. The elec­tion of trustees.
  3. All oth­er busi­ness which may come before the meet­ing.

Mem­bers are encour­aged to attend the annu­al meet­ing and MUST bring a valid pho­to ID and their reg­is­tra­tion post­card, which is attached to the front of this mag­a­zine. All mem­bers who wish to be entered into the prize draw­ing and to vote must be in line by 2 p.m. on Wednes­day, 7 p.m. on Fri­day and by noon on Sat­ur­day.

Each mem­ber reg­is­ter­ing will receive a $25 cred­it on his or her June 2024 elec­tric bill and is lim­it­ed to one vote and reg­is­tra­tion. You must be present to vote and receive the reg­is­tra­tion cred­it. Reg­is­tered mem­bers will also be entered into draw­ings for valu­able prizes includ­ing a 2017 Ford F‑150 and two $500 pow­er bill cred­its. Mem­bers who reg­is­ter in Tega Cay will be entered into a sep­a­rate draw­ing for a $500 pow­er bill cred­it in addi­tion to the oth­er door prizes.

Your cooperative’s audit­ed finan­cial report will be avail­able dur­ing the week of the annu­al meet­ing on our web­site, at each of YEC’s offices, and by request at the annu­al meet­ing.

 

You will find a map for the vot­ing and reg­is­tra­tion dri­ve-thru routes for both our Tega Cay and York loca­tions on the back of the April edi­tion of South Car­oli­na Liv­ing mag­a­zine and on our web­site. Mem­bers will be vot­ing for two uncon­test­ed direc­tor seats, the vacant seat in Dis­trict Two and a con­test­ed seat for Dis­trict Three. 

We would like to extend a spe­cial thank you to York School Dis­trict One, the York School Dis­trict One Foun­da­tion, and the York Rotary Club for prepar­ing hot dogs for those mem­bers who want them on Fri­day and Sat­ur­day in York begin­ning at 9 a.m. each day, while sup­plies last.
