Proud moment here!!!

In this month's issue of Cooperative Living, members can read about the legacy of service Jacob Mothershead and his family have built. Jacob grew up watching his dad respond to emergency calls with Richmond County Volunteer Fire Department and his grandfathers, J.D. Dawson and Fred Wayne Mothershead, each served as volunteers for more than 50 years with RCVFD.

Jacob has always known and seen the importance of giving back to his community, driving him to become a volunteer firefighter and a lineman. NNEC is thankful for the ways Jacob and his family continue to serve their community and for taking the time to share their story.

Read about their legacy in the June issue of Cooperative Living magazine: www.nnec.coop/cooperative-living/

Please take notice we are still in a burn ban. We did get a little rain but it has already dried off and with the continuous breeze it is very unsafe for any burning. We will post up more updates once conditions improve

Pssst… just a reminder we are under a 24/7 burn ban due to how dry it has been. Plus with the steady breeze it dries out more. Let’s hope for May showers and some flowers!!
