National Co-op Month in October provided a perfect opportunity for Fayette Electric Cooperative and Colorado Valley Communications to work together to help their communities through initiatives led by their employees and local board members.
The two cooperatives accomplished this by hosting their sixth annual Shred Day on Friday, Oct. 13.
The shred day event was designed to provide a secure and convenient way for cooperative members to dispose of sensitive documents and to help protect them from identity theft. Members of both cooperatives took advantage of the free shredding services at both locations.
