This year, Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative’s Annual Meeting has been split into a two-part Annual Meeting Event – a prerecorded Online Meeting shared on our website on Monday, June 6th and an in-person Member Appreciation Event held on Monday, August 8th at the NJ State Fair. To learn how you can receive two free tickets to the Fair (and more!), keep reading!
At the beginning of June, we are hosting our Online Business Meeting at www.sussexrec.com/annual-meeting. If you’re reading this on or after June 6th, you can visit our website to find prerecorded videos sharing the results of our 2022 board election, an address from our board’s chairman, a financial report from our board’s treasurer, and a Q&A video where our president and CEO answers questions submitted by members like you.
Also on the Annual Meeting webpage, you will find the registration form for the next part of our event: the in-person Member Appreciation Event that we will be holding at the NJ State Fair. On Monday, August 8th, Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative will have a booth on Park Road at the Sussex County Fairgrounds which will be staffed throughout the day by employees, directors, and our CEO. We encourage all members to stop by and chat with us!
Members who have registered ahead of time at www.sussexrec.com/annual-meeting will receive up to two free tickets to the Fair for the date of our event. Registration will be available on our website until the second week of July. Make sure you sign up in order to receive your member appreciation gift and bill credit at our tent! Members who have no or limited internet access are encouraged to call our office at 973-875-5101 to register. Mention registration for the Annual Meeting Event and our staff will make sure you are registered. You will be contacted directly when we have secured your tickets.
Registering early will also make you eligible for another great prize. All members who register before the end of June will be automatically entered into a special drawing to receive a family four-pack of tickets to the Fair’s Demolition Derby! The randomly selected winner will receive these tickets and will be able to choose which Demolition Derby event they would like to attend, either on Sunday, August 7th or Monday, August 8th.
Remember to visit www.sussexrec.com/annual-meeting after Monday, June 6th to view the contents of our Online Meeting and register for our in-person event. We are excited about this opportunity to meet in public with our members once again, with the added benefit of taking part in one of the largest celebrations of our community – the NJ State Fair. We hope to see you there!

![Energy Efficiency Tip of the Month: If you're looking to add smart technology to your home, consider smart plugs. Smart plugs are inexpensive and can be used to control lighting and other electronic devices through a smart phone app. With smart plugs, you can conveniently manage lighting, home office equipment, video game consoles and more. By powering off unused devices when you're away, you can save energy (and money!).](http://sussexrec.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2022_06_DS_EfficiencyTipOfTheMonth_One-ThirdPage.png)
