Nolin RECC members pay tribute to veterans

Members of Nolin Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation’s Operation Round-Up (ORU) program are doing their part in helping to fund the newly constructed Hardin County Veterans Tribute. In December, $10,000 was presented to the Hardin County Veterans Tribute Foundation. The money will be used to finish expenses on construction and design of the Tribute.

Accepting the Operation Round-Up contribution of $10,000 to the Hardin County Veterans Tribute are foundation members, front, from left, Rik Hawkins, Mary Smith and Gary Broadway; and Operation Round-Up board members, back, Marion Henderson, Curtis Willoughby, Mike Eades, Cheryl Thomas and Chairman Mark Rock, presented the contribution in behalf of the Nolin RECC ORU members.

Local citizens make up a non-profit board of directors that govern ORU. The board reviews applications for community projects and makes decisions on when, where, and how to utilize funds.

Operation Round-Up is an exclusive program to Nolin RECC and its members; however, participants do not have to be a member of the cooperative to donate funds. Individuals interested in receiving more information about ORU are urged to call Cheryl Thomas at Nolin RECC at 765-6153.
