Satilla REMC Celebrates 77th Annual Meeting
O
n Tuesday, October 7, an overflowing crowd of Satilla Members, their families and guests took part in Satilla REMC’s 77th Annual Meeting. The meeting was held at Central Square Complex in Douglas, Ga., with about 1,135 in
attendance.
Romeo Reyes, President/CEO, highlighted changes at Satilla during the past
year and reported that the Co-op had experienced another successful and productive year. Reyes noted, “We have kept the power flowing, kept the cost of
electricity as low as possible and supported the communities we serve.”
Reyes spoke of future challenges in pending legislation and rate structures
that could hamper Satilla’s efforts to provide electricity at affordable prices to its
Members, but he concluded, “We will meet those challenges head-on and do
everything in our power to supply quality, reliable electric service at an affordable price now and in the future.”

ontinuing the tradition of the annual Christmas
Card Contest, Satilla REMC asked students in
grades K-5 throughout Satilla’s service area to share
with us their imaginative artwork on the theme “I’m
Dreaming of a White Christmas.”
Satilla received approximately 2,100 entries from
elementary and primary schools within its service
area. We would like to congratulate Jenna Miles as
this year’s overall winner. She is the daughter of Herk
and Tonya Miles and a student at Jeff Davis
Elementary School. Jenna will receive a $25 gift certificate and class party for her effort and creativity.
Her teacher is Angie Wilcox.
Satilla REMC Directors and employees extend
their appreciation to area teachers who aided in the
coordination of this event. Although each student
who participated is truly a winner, a grade-level winner was chosen from among the submissions and will
receive a Walmart gift certificate.
The cards on these pages are the artwork of
the overall winner and the grade-level winners.
