Members could sign up to purchase

"Green Power" and give a helping hand towards aiding our environment.

�Wind, solar and hydropower are all possibilities of green power, but

biomass (which uses methane gas generated at landfills) is already available

today and will be used first to generate the new green power. It is being

sold in 150 kilowatt hour blocks for $4 a block.

Also on hand was the EMCs newest

subsidiary, Coweta-Fayette EMC Natural Gas. Members were allowed to sign-up

to participate in the newly formed company, if they hadn't already done

so. Employees were available to answer there questions and give them that

special attention that's not always possible with the larger gas companies.

Members received a gardening

bag filled with all the needed gardening tools as their special registration

gift. By simply answering a survey, members were also eligible to win

$100 off their electric bill. The Fox Brothers, a nationally known country

gospel band, entertained the crowd before and during the business meeting.

The three incumbents to the

board of directors - W.L. Clements of Coweta County, Alice Mallory

of Fayette County and Mildred Winkles of Coweta County - were re-elected

to serve another three-year term.

Members were excited when their

names were drawn for valuable gifts throughout the business meeting; their

children were also excited upon winning gift certificates from local merchants

and book bags from Southern Mills.

Coweta-Fayette EMC has served

Coweta, Fayette and parts of Heard, Meriwether, Spalding, Clayton and

south Fulton counties for almost 57 years.
