At the end of the year I reflect on the accomplishments FreeState has achieved. Our employees work hard to make members a priority while keeping tabs on industry changes and challenges. I thought I’d share with you four of our most significant accomplishments this year.

We want to hear your story and share it with the new generation of cooperative members. As we talk about a new energy and the future of cooperatives we also want to connect with our past to feature stories describing the time when the co-op brought power to the farm, ranch or rural residence. We are asking for help from our members.
Submit your stories or photos from the past that highlight when Kaw Valley Electric Cooperative or Leavenworth-Jefferson Electric Cooperative brought power to your lives.
Did you live on a farm? Did you get new electric appliances? Do you remember when you were able to flip a light on for the first time in the home or barn? We want to hear about it!
How to submit your stories. Drop by one of the FreeState offices, email
800-794-1989. You can mail photos,
written accounts or other memorabilia to:
FreeState Electric Cooperative
Attn: Marketing
PO Box 70
McLouth, KS 66054
Any tangible memorabilia will be returned to the member. We will begin sharing these stories in January 2020. We appreciate your willingness to share the past with the new generation of cooperative members.
