Chris Cox and his daughter Kamille are pictured dancing to the classic music.By BarBara WrightDespite the recent threatening weather the morning of Saturday the 27th was perfect for Cinna-mon Roll Alfresco #5 held at the Anthony Theatre. Cus-tomers were anxiously wait-ing for the doors to open and upon entrance they were greeted to two long tables laden with delicious home-made cinnamon rolls. The tables were also inviting as the attractive sunﬂower theme prevailed throughout the theatre lobby giving the customers the added incen-tive to purchase their choice. We appreciated the custom-Another Successful Cinnamon Roll Alfresco Held At The Historic Anthony Theatreers that took advantage of the ALFRESCO (outdoor dining) as the tables were also decorated with sun-ﬂowers giving the diners an extra ﬂavor to their choice of rolls along with their cup of free coffee, as well as giv-ing the passing truck driv-ers the temptation to want to stop in middle of street and join in (at least the honking sounded neat as they traveled on). We even had a few surprise kolache donated which one of our Czech decedent customers quickly purchased. We certainly appreci-ated the generous donation of cinnamon rolls from the ladies in the community. This really added to our to-tal sales of $610.00 that we were able to deposit. As long as the theatre committee gals agree to wake up before daylight and head to the theatre, we will continue to see you next year at the Cinnamon Roll Alfresco #6.

QUILT Continued from previous pageInnslee AlrightGOT NEWS???Send It To Us Atanthonyrepublican@att.netWheatland Electric HoldsAnnual Meeting For MembersGREAT BEND–Mem-bers of Wheatland Electric Cooperative, Inc. (WEC) have elected a new trustee and two incumbents to its 10-member board, results which were announced at this year’s 2024 Annual Meeting, held April 24, 2024, in Great Bend, Kan., and at seven remote meeting loca-tions across southwest and central Kansas. Members of the electric cooperative, who voted by mail for the ﬁrst time in cooperative history, voted to elect Kevin White (1682 Road Q., Tribune, Kan.) as their District 3 trustee. White ran against another candidate, John Niehues (612 Haskell St., Tribune, Kan.), and secured just over a two-thirds of the total vote: 1,065 vs. 508. Both White and Niehues were nominated for their candidacy by WEC’s nomi-nating committee, comprised of seven co-op members, each representing one of the cooperative’s seven districts across southwest and central Kansas. White will replace out-going trustee Mike Thon of Tribune, Kan., who was ﬁrst elected to the board in 2018 and served two three-year terms. District 3 serves members across Greeley County, Kan., and portions of Kiowa and Cheyenne Coun-ties in Colorado. Co-op members also vot-ed to elect John L. Sullivan (5906 16th Street Ter., Great Bend, Kan.) in District 6, which serves Great Bend, and re-elect Mark Arnold (203 S. Market St., Caldwell, Kan.) in District 7, which covers portions of Harper, Kingman, Sumner, and Sedgwick Counties. Both Sullivan and Arnold ran uncontested and were also nominated by the nomi-nating committee. Sullivan will begin his ﬁrst three-year term; he was ﬁrst appointed to the board to replace an outgoing trustee in 2022. Arnold will begin his third, three-year term. He was ﬁrst appointed to ﬁll a vacating seat in 2016 and was later elected by the co-operative membership in 2018. Trustees are limited to six three-year terms on the WEC board. This year’s ballots re-ceived by mail represent a total of 9.55% of the co-op voting membership overall (1,918 ballots received from an eligible 20,087 eligible voters). A total of 1,918 bal-lots were cast in this year’s trustee election, managed by Survey and Ballot Systems, an independent third-party. Last year, a total of 654 reg-istered members at the 2023 Annual Meeting cast their ballots in person or by proxy. The co-op membership ap-proved bylaw changes at that time to allow trustee elections to transition to mail-in voting starting in 2024. This year’s transition to mail-in voting has resulted in an 193% increase in voter engagement from last year’s trustee election. A total of 527 individu-als (including co-op mem-bers, special guests, and other non-members) were in attendance on April 24 at WEC’s 2024 Annual Meeting across eight meeting loca-tions: Great Bend, Scott City, Leoti, Tribune, Syracuse, Garden City, Harper, and Caldwell. Of that total, 383 attendees were registered WEC members. This year’s theme – “Il-luminating Connections” – provided WEC with a unique and enlightening opportu-nity to share the CONNEC-TIONS the co-op works to create every day – not just through the energy it deliv-ers, but through the part-nerships it builds, projects it helps fund, and new pro-grams it has implemented – all with the goal of EMPOW-ERING the communities it serves. Additionally, members at every location were able to ask questions and offer com-ments in real time as they viewed the primary meeting location in Great Bend. At-tendees enjoyed a meal at every location and took home a set of outdoor string lights as a thank you from WEC. Alli Conine, WEC’s Direc-tor of Member Services and Corporate Communications, also presented awards to 14 high school seniors from across WEC’s service terri-tory who were recipients of $1,000 scholarships. High school juniors who were se-lected to attend the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in Washington D.C., and Co-operative Youth Leadership Camp in Steamboat Springs, Colo., later this year were also recognized. In addition, Mark Arnold, trustee and board president, recognized several WEC employees and trustees for their dedication to the co-operative, ranging from ﬁve years to 30 years of service. Our 2023 Annual Report, distributed to those in atten-dance, can now be download-ed at www.weci.net/annual-meetings. WEC wishes to thank all members in attendance. Members with questions are free to contact their local of-ﬁce or send their questions to memberservices@weci.net.
