Co-op Employee Volunteers AtSpecial Olympics Summer Camp

Volunteers from 21 Oklahoma electric co-ops came together in Stillwater in May to assist with the Special Olympics Summer Games. Glen Clark, Director of Marketing, represented LREC among the 115 co-op volunteers in Stillwater.

More than 2,700 athletes from across the state participated in the Summer Games — the first Summer Games held in person since 2019. During the three-day event, athletes competed in track and field, bocce, bowling, golf, horseshoes, powerlifting, basketball, and softball. 1826502

“Helping at this years Special Olympics was a rewarding experience. Seeing the joy on these athletes’ faces and having the opportunity to celebrate with them,” said Glen Clark.

In addition to LREC’s volunteering, the LREC Foundation, Inc., via the Operation Round Up program, donates funds to area Special Olympics teams each year. That funding is made possible by members who round up their monthly electric or fiber bills to the nearest dollar.

Use ceiling fans to create a wind chill and push warm air up.

Save up to $95 on cooling costs per year.

A ceiling fan

Don’t crank up the AC! The breeze from a ceiling fan will cool you down and keep you comfortable even when you set your thermostat higher. In the summer, set your fans to turn counterclockwise to push warm air up. Be sure to turn off the fans when you leave the room because they cool people, not the room.
