significant. We understand the hardship of being without power for an extended length of
time and we are truly grateful for your continued patience.

cooperatives in Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas arrived on Saturday to assist our crews
to restore power to our members without electric service. We are proud of the tireless efforts
