SHARING SUCCESS PROGRAM EXPANDS TO SOUTHERN UTAH

"Sharing Success,” a charitable contribution program, has expanded its investment within our southern Utah communities.  Dixie Escalante Electric Foundation and CoBank, located in Greenwood Village, Colorado, have donated $10,000 to the Erin Kimball Memorial Foundation to be used for transitional housing for homeless families fleeing family violence.

LaDel Laub, CEO of Dixie Escalante Electric along with Mike Brown, Board Chair and Rebecca Jensen, Trustee, presented the check.  “We are happy to be able to invest in a program that makes a critical difference for some of our most vulnerable neighbors,” stated Mr. Laub.  The Erin Kimball Memorial Foundation provides a bridge from emergency shelters to self-sufficient independence and has provided over 200,000 nights of shelter in apartment settings and empowerment services for 587 women and children..

“The timing was perfect,” stated Sue Kimball, Executive Director of the organization.  “With ongoing federal and state funding cuts we need and appreciate the support of our community.”

“Shared success has always been a hallmark of  the cooperative business model,”  Robert Engel, President and CEO of CoBank, stated, “and it has been a pleasure to work with Dixie Escalante Electric to provide value to their members and improve the quality of life in their local communities.”

A week without Internet

Some new shots of our offices, now that the furniture is in place.

My office

Entrance

When we moved last week I was certain that we could get our internet hooked up a bit quicker. Because of low speed at the new place offered by our current provider, I searched around to find the best provider, fastest speed and best price and chose Century Link. They are the provider of the main internet anyway so going back to them was comforting.  The only problem they could not get us hooked up until today - May 3, 8 days after we moved in to our new space. It has been hard to cope without printers hooked to the network. We have been able to get by though. Our good neighbors (all the hotels around our building) have been kind enough to let us hone in on their WiFi. Otherwise I would be doing everything by phone. I can't wait to be able to print off all the forms I need and be able to check the accounting email so I can finish some invoices that need to go out. I hope that after today, the only thing I need to worry about is where to hang my artwork on the walls. Nice to have technology. Bad when you don't have it completely.
