People’s Electric Cooperative’s popular “PEC Day” events have been cancelled due to public health concerns, the co-op’s board announced Monday.

“(PEC’s) board of trustees has made the decision to cancel the cooperative’s annual meeting scheduled for September 26 in Ada at the Pontotoc County Agri-Plex,” the board announced in a prepared statement. “Plans to assemble the cooperative again next year are already underway for September 25, 2021.”

PEC Executive Vice President and CEO Kevin Wood said the board made the decision out of concern for the community and the overall health and welfare of its members, employees and venders.

Wood said the capital credit checks typically made available for members to pick up at the annual meeting will be mailed.

“Checks should arrive in members’ mailboxes by mid-September,” Wood said.
