E
au Claire Energy Cooperative and its propane subsidiary, Energy
Connections, earned a second-place ribbon for “Most Informative Booth” at the 27th Annual Home & Garden Show. With the
theme “Reliable as the Sun,” employees promoted energy reliability
as well as energy-saving options for heating and air conditioning
homes and businesses. The annual Chippewa Valley Home Builders
Association show took place at the Eau Claire Indoor Sports Center
February 25–27. Thank you to Dave Graves, Chris Cline, Laurie
Kretschmer, and Sherry Hartwich for offering advice and information to visitors at our booth during the show.

Local people. Serving you.
That’s the Cooperative difference.
After working over 10 years for Eau Claire Energy Cooperative,
Annie has retired from her credit manager position. Annie began
working at the cooperative on June 1, 1994, and was later
promoted to credit manager. She was an asset to the cooperative
as she worked with members on payment schedules and energy
assistance as well as volunteering to work at cooperativesponsored community service events. Happy trails to you, Annie,
as you and your husband travel in warmer climates. And, cheer
on those Green Bay Packers! (Watch your next issue of the WEC
News for information about our new credit manager.)

● Please have patience with the
school buses that carry our
most precious cargo—our
children.
● Always go slowly in school
zones and obey speed limits
when children are present or
in school.
● Never pass a stopped school
bus showing flashing lights.
Children dart out from nowhere with no warning.
Children can be invisible
behind buses and cars until
they are in the traffic lanes.
Please heed these safety tips.
Your friends at Eau Claire Energy Cooperative and its propane
subsidiary, Energy Connections,
want your children to be safe.
