Great presentation from Premier Health at this month’s Darke County Chamber of Commerce Safety Council meeting!

It was great catching up with the team from Darke Rural Electric Cooperative as we learned more about sustainable workplace wellbeing. Thank you to Brethren Retirement Community for hosting us at their Chestnut Village campus. It was a wonderful venue.

I’m always glad to participate in Chamber events where we work together to promote safe, healthy workplaces for everyone in Darke County.

A big thank you to 7 Brew Greenville for treating all of our employees to free drinks today! ☕🥤

Our linemen spent the hot afternoon practicing pole top rescue training, a skill we hope they never have to use but must always be prepared for. The refreshing drinks were a welcome treat for both our field and office employees.

We truly appreciate the support and generosity shown to our entire team. Thank you for helping keep us cool on a hot summer day!

Ever wonder what it takes to get power from its source to your home?

It’s not just one system, it’s a network of generation, transmission, and local delivery, all working together in real time. From large power plants to your local co-op, each piece plays a role in keeping electricity reliable and available when you need it. At Darke REC, we’re proud to be your connection to that system, and to help you understand how it all comes together. Take a closer look at the “grid power players” behind your electricity 👉 https://bit.ly/43Hsogu

For 90 years, safety at Darke REC has meant protecting our members, no matter how the world around us changes. 💛⚡

Today, that includes more than maintaining power lines – it also means protecting members from scams. Scammers may pose as utility companies and push for immediate payment or personal information. Darke REC will never demand payment over the phone or threaten disconnection.

If something feels off, trust your instincts! Hang up and contact us directly to verify. Staying informed is one more way we can keep our community safe.
