We want to thank Eastern Illini members who attended the Annual Meeting events in Tuscola, Gifford, and at the Iroquois County Fairgrounds. It was great to again be able to enjoy a sit-down fried chicken meal and talk with members, friends, and neighbors whom we haven’t seen in a while. We hope everyone enjoyed the meal, music, and ice cream. Hats off to our employees who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The final Annual Meeting event at the Iroquois County Fairgrounds culminated with the Eastern Illini Electric Cooperative Annual Meeting which began at 6:15 p.m. in the 4-H Building.
