From 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Thursday, August 17, members are welcome to join Sangre de Cristo Electric Association (SDCEA) employees for free coffee, conversation, and baked goods at the co-op.

“We want people to come by and get on their way with a great cup of coffee or stay for a bit and ask questions they may have about the co-op,” said Interim CEO Gary Kelly of the early event.

Members are welcome to drop by the SDCEA community room at 29780 North U.S. Highway 24 in Buena Vista to grab some morning caffeine or take a quick break while running early morning errands and catch up on what the rural electric cooperative is doing.

SDCEA will give away free reusable coffee cups and vehicle beverage coasters to those that attend the event.

While electric cooperatives may not always be top of mind for residents, they do have a big impact on rural areas. If members have any questions about the cooperative, the casual morning event presents an opportunity to ask.

For more information, members can call 844-395-2412 or email info@myelectric.coop.
