MTEMC’s Annual Meeting set for August 21st

Middle Tennessee Electric’s Annual Meeting will be held tomorrow at Embassy Suites Murfreesboro located next to The Avenue shopping center.

“This year’s theme is built around energy efficiency and conservation,” MTEMC Vice President of Communications and Member Services Chris Jones said. “We can’t change the increasing costs of fuels used to produce power and purchased power costs, but we can use less energy and be more wise in our energy usage decisions.”

The meeting, which will begin at 7:30 a.m., will feature the crowning of a new Miss MTEMC and include a used truck giveaway.

The meeting gives members an opportunity to vote on the MTEMC Board of Directors, sit in on a business session, receive a free health screening and be eligible for a number of door prizes, including a 2006 Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck.

As always, the Miss Middle Tennessee Electric beauty pageant is part of the day’s events. Twenty-seven contestants ages 16-21 will compete for the title. The winner will have her choice of $1,000 cash or a trip to Washington D.C. as part of the Rural Electric Youth Tour, valued at $1,200. The first and second runners-up also earn prizes.
