Happy Texas Independence Day (and Sam Houston’s birthday)!

Vote!
March 3 is primary election day in Texas and we encourage you to go and vote for your favorite candidates if you didn’t already take advantage of early voting.
Catch Up with the Co-op!
We are a month away from the first of four “Catch Up with the Co-op” meetings. Reserve your spot by contacting TVEC member services at memberrelations@tvec.coop or 800-766-9576.
The meetings will be a smaller version of the TVEC Annual Membership Meeting, with time to hear about all that is going on here at TVEC and interact with TVEC leadership. A light dinner will be served prior to the meeting, followed by an update from General Manager/CEO Jeff Lane and plenty of time to answer any questions you may have.
March Texas Co-op Power Magazine
The March edition of Texas Co-op Power should be hitting mailboxes any day now. A digital version is on TVEC.NET, and you can find a lot of content at TexasCoopPower.com. Cooks out there may want to note a new $500 prize for winning recipe contest entries-see page 32 of the March magazine for details.
Weather Outlook
Early spring at its finest…we have a great looking week ahead with a little rain and a little sunshine. Mild temperatures can certainly help with energy usage, but don’t let your A/C go completely out of mind. Instead, it is a great time to schedule a professional check-up on your unit before summer heat arrives. Clean coils and ducts can really help keep you comfortable all summer, and add years to the life of your A/C as well.

As a parent this is interesting.. is second-hand screen time the new second hand smoking?
And.. good sentimental storytelling – A couple’s last conversation is caught on tape.
