Dakota Valley co-op sets meeting

Dakota Valley Electric Cooperative is urging all members to attend its annual meeting, scheduled for June 7 at Edgeley Public School.

The meeting will begin at 5 p.m. with registration, a member appreciation supper, LaMoure County 4-H project showcases and entertainment by Shelley Logodinski. A business meeting and election are scheduled for 6 p.m. Free child care is also available.

Six Dakota Valley members are running for three seats on the Dakota Valley Board of Directors. Incumbent John Hauschild, Wahpeton, East Region, District 2, was nominated for re-election at that district’s caucus meeting in March.

Three candidates are vying for the District 3, Central Region director’s seat formerly held by John Hayen, Cogswell, who announced his retirement from the board last winter. Members nominated were Richard Johnson, Cogswell; Tom Schumacker, Fullerton, and Gary Hokana, Ellendale, for candidacy at the caucus meeting in April.

In the West Region, two members submitted petitions for nomination to the District 1 director seat formerly held by Ron Kinzler, Kulm. Blain Lundgren, Kulm, and Robert Hess, Alfred, are running for election.

Members may vote at the June 7 meeting or by mail ballot.

Following the meeting is a $1,000 door prize and other drawings.
