The invitation will include an annual report of your cooperative. You’ll find the President, Treasurer, and Manager’s report highlighting TrioTel Communications, Inc.’s activities over the past year. I am proud to report that your cooperative is doing good and has had a successful year.
 
Also being mailed out soon is the official announcement of the director vacancies for 2022. There will be two (2) open director positions up for election, being District 3 (Spencer) and District 7 (At-Large). This notice will be mailed out in July.

Happy Father's Day


Sunday, June 19th, is Father’s Day! Some easy gifts that dad would love may include BBQ tools, a koozie, his favorite sports team apparel, or maybe a gift card to his favorite restaurant! Gift or not, all dads love spending time with you- make it a great day!
TrioTel Donates Surveillance Cameras
At the TrioTel Board of Directors Meeting held in March, it was decided that a donation of up to $3,500 would be put towards new surveillance cameras for the Little Learners Preschool and Daycare in Emery. Five cameras were installed throughout the Little Learners facility to be used to protect the safety of all children and staff while at the facility. Prior to the camera installation, Little Learners had no form of security cameras on site.
 
“Our new surveillance cameras that were donated by TrioTel are a great addition to Little Learners! If anything arises, we will be able to access the cameras at any hour with the feature of play-back if needed. I’m happy knowing we have surveillance to protect our employees and kids”, says Jolene Kayser, the Director of Little Learners.
 
TrioTel vows to continue to deliver sound leadership and economic growth through the use of advancements in communication technologies; ultimately guaranteeing our members and service area communities a bright future.
Keep Devices Safe
Remember to unplug your electronic devices during storms. This will keep them protected from lightning strikes and power surges. This includes your TV’s, routers, DVR’s, gaming systems, and any other device that is plugged into power, cable, or ethernet cords.
 
Another great option to protect your devices would be to purchase a surge protector. Surge protectors (often mistaken for a power strip) have a fuse that breaks the circuit when too much electricity tries to pass through to your device. Spending a little money up front can save you from a big loss later! Call our office if you would like to purchase a surge protector to help extend the lifespan of your electronics.
