Warsaw, Ind. (June 18^th, 2025) – Kosciusko REMC (KREMC) held its 85^th Annual Meeting on Thursday, June 12^th at the KREMC facility. This drive-thru style meeting provided members with the opportunity to vote in the board of directors election, receive a $10 bill credit, a free meal, and a special gift. This year broke attendance records, with 1,828 votes cast, and an estimated crowd of 3,306. Additionally, the Annual Meeting Broadcast Video on KREMC’s YouTube channel received over 2,000 views.

“Our team looks forward to this event every year. It is a great opportunity to talk about what our cooperative has been doing for the past year, and show our appreciation for our members with a meal, gift, and bill credit. It also gives our members the chance to make their voice heard by voting in the board of directors election,” said Tim Landrigan, KREMC President & CEO.

In the board of directors election, there were three seats open. Incumbent candidates Dan Tucker and Todd Smith retained their seats, and Gabe Ayers won the third seat, which was open due to the retirement of Tony Fleming.

KREMC also awarded 10 $1,000 John H. Anglin scholarships and 10 $350 4-H scholarships as part of its annual meeting.

The John H. Anglin scholarship is designed to financially assist cooperative members in their pursuit of higher education. The recipients of the 2025 John H. Anglin scholarships were Addison Mehlberg, Annabel Parker, Anna Arter, David Ousley, Lucy Ray, Madeline Lezark, McKale Hagg, Natalie Linnemeier, Rachel Koorey, and Rylee Burns.

The 4-H scholarships assist students with their 4-H projects. The 2025 4-H scholarship recipients were Olivia Parker, Ace Richcreek, Cruz Nunez, Chloe Nunez, Jay Roberts, Kate Rivir, Owen Backus, Robert Messmore, Trevor Roberts, and Tripp Anderson.

“Investing in our students and community through these scholarships every year is a privilege. Our scholarship committee works very hard going through all the applications and choosing the scholarship recipients every year,” said Landrigan.

Kosciusko REMC employees, board members, and volunteers work to put the Annual Meeting together every year to serve the KREMC membership and look forward to another great year together.
