It is with great pleasure that we extend an invitation to you, our valued members, to join us for a day of celebration at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo. Member Appreciation Day is not just an event — it’s a testament to the incredible communities we’ve built together.

As we return to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo for this exclusive cooperative members-only event on Aug. 3, we are reminded of the vital role each of you plays in our cooperative’s success. You trust us to operate one of the most vital resources that we rely on to live our daily lives safely and efficiently — electricity.

Member Appreciation Day is our way of expressing our gratitude and appreciation for your ongoing support. It’s an opportunity for us to come together as a co-op community, celebrate our achievements, and meet with you, our member-owners.

In addition to exclusive access to the zoo’s attractions, this event presents a unique opportunity for you to connect with us on a more personal level. You can:

• Engage in meaningful conversations with our employees.

• Gain valuable insights into your cooperative.

• Learn about ways you can save, including advice from our energy services coordinator.

• Meet your dedicated board members.

• Discover our many co-op programs, including youth programs like scholarships, rebates, Operation Round Up, and more.

• Sign up for SmartHub, our all-in-one account management platform, where you can pay bills, receive outage updates, monitor energy use, and more.

As you enjoy ice cream, soda, and all the rides, we hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on the significance of your involvement in our cooperative. Your participation strengthens our cooperative’s foundation and enriches the lives of everyone in our community.

If you haven’t already done so, you must RSVP by July 12 to secure your spot at this special event. RSVPs are limited to immediate family living in your household. Your RSVP helps us ensure that we can accommodate everyone and provide an unforgettable experience for all.

Together, let’s celebrate our collective achievements and the bright future ahead. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

THANK YOU to our sponsors for helping make this event a success! These sponsors work with the co-op to provide services to help us better serve you, our members.
