A Simple Recipe August is peak camping season, and whether you’re hitting the backcountry or the backyard, a good trail mix has something for every moment on the trail. A little something sweet, something salty, but most importantly, something with staying power. ​ Your financial plan should work the same way. A well-balanced mix of savings, investments and an emergency fund may give you energy for the long haul and something to fall back on when the path gets rough. ​ Many financial professionals suggest starting with a base of three to six months of living expenses in an emergency fund. From there, regular contributions to a retirement account, even a small amount each month, may support long-term growth. Then consider adding a short-term goal, like a vacation fund or a home repair cushion, to help keep you motivated along the way. ​ Pack your mix thoughtfully, and you can be prepared for wherever the trail takes you.

North Dearborn Community Park is giving a rural community a place to gather again. When Brenda Wheat looks across North Dearborn Road from her home, she sees more than a playground, walking path and open green space. She sees families walking after work, kids climbing and riding bikes, parents talking while their children play, and neighbors gathering for farmers markets, Easter egg hunts, and summer evenings at Party in the Park. “It makes my heart happy,” Brenda said. “There’s nothing negative about a park.” North Dearborn Community Park calls itself “a place built by the community, for the community” — and its story reflects that mission. The park did not begin with a large budget, parks department or paid staff. It began with an empty school property, a need for safe outdoor space and one woman running laps around an old parking lot. Brenda lives near the former North Dearborn Elementary School property. After the school closed, the building sat empty while the district considered what would come next. Around that time, Brenda was training for a marathon. With five children and a full family schedule, she often split her miles between early mornings and evenings — and without sidewalks nearby, the old school property was the safest place to run. As she logged miles around the parking lot, Brenda noticed others using the space too. One family would bring their son’s bike in a minivan so he could ride safely on the old school property. That moment stayed with her. The land wasn’t just empty — it represented something North Dearborn was missing. Brenda began asking questions, making phone calls and gathering support for turning the property into a community park. In 2019, she approached the school board about using the land. COVID slowed the process, but she kept working behind the scenes, forming a nonprofit and continuing to push the idea forward. Eventually, the school building was demolished, and North Dearborn Community Park began taking shape through volunteer leadership, grants, donations and community support. From the beginning, the park has been built without tax dollars. Every improvement has been funded through grants, private donations, corporate sponsors and fundraising events. There are no paid employees. A volunteer board governs the park while volunteers maintain it, plan events, write grants and handle the many small needs that come with running a public space. The first major project was a one-mile walking path — exactly one mile, ten feet wide, looping around the property and connecting to existing sidewalks where possible. What started as one runner circling an old parking lot became a safe place for an entire community to move. “As soon as the path was in, it was being used,” Brenda said. “It was almost like people didn’t know they were craving it.” After the path came the playground, which opened this spring. Together, they support the park’s mission: to provide a safe place for the community to move, play and thrive. During our interview, that connection showed up in real time. As Brenda walked the park, a man stopped to show her a photo of his grandson, born that very morning. In a rural community where neighbors can live miles apart and rarely cross paths, the park has changed that. People don’t just use it — they now know one another here. Brenda is the first to deflect credit. Without hesitation, she turns the conversation to the people beside her — Vice President Danielle Bischoff, Secretary Tammy Henson and board member Julie Haydu — who together handle planning, fundraising, events, grant writing and the countless decisions that come with operating a park. “We are a team,” Brenda said. “I cannot do this by myself.” The broader community has stepped in as well. Scout troops and FFA students have completed projects, planted trees and hosted fundraisers. Local teachers have helped with butterfly boxes and pet waste stations. Neighbors and businesses have donated time, equipment and labor to keep things moving. Fundraising remains one of the hardest parts. Grants take time to find and write, and major projects come with major costs. Even unexpected setbacks add up — when the playground was installed, crews discovered a massive footer left from the old school building, adding several thousand dollars and days of extra work. That reality makes every grant, donation and volunteer hour meaningful. SEI REMC Operation RoundUp grant funds helped support fencing around the play area, and grants like it are vital because they help volunteer-led projects move forward without relying on tax dollars. The park’s growth is not finished. The next major project is a bathroom and shelter. Brenda also envisions pickleball courts, pollinator patches and an outdoor amphitheater built into the natural slope of the land. “I want it to blend in,” she said. That unassuming vision is at the heart of the park. Brenda isn’t trying to create something flashy. She wants to bring back the kind of community life that can feel increasingly rare: grass, fresh air, sunshine, children playing and neighbors who recognize one another. The park also carries the history of the land beneath it. For generations, the former school property was a place where families gathered. The school once brought people together. Now, the park is doing the same — becoming the shared gathering point that North Dearborn has been missing. Brenda has seen a dad teaching his child to ride a bike on the path, friends meeting for walks and one runner who trained for a marathon on the park’s one-mile loop. “That’s exactly what the vision was,” Brenda said. She has also watched young people take ownership through volunteer projects. “This is their community,” she said. “When they’re adults, they’ll be able to go past there and say, ‘I planted that tree,’ or ‘I helped build that sign.’” Brenda is humble about her own role, more comfortable talking about the volunteers and the community than herself. She wants people to see what is possible when a community starts somewhere and keeps going. “It doesn’t have to be big,” she said. “Start somewhere.” North Dearborn Community Park started with one idea, one need and one safe place to run. Today, it is growing into a shared heart for the community, built by neighbors who keep showing up.

Every day, Southeastern Indiana REMC members have the opportunity to make a difference in their communities simply by rounding up their electric bill to the nearest dollar. Those spare pennies may seem small on their own, but when thousands of members participate in Operation RoundUp®, those contributions add up to meaningful support for local organizations and projects throughout southeastern Indiana. It’s a powerful example of how small acts of generosity can create lasting community change. Since its inception, Operation RoundUp has provided funding to countless nonprofits, emergency service organizations, schools, youth programs, and community initiatives throughout southeastern Indiana. While each grant may support a different cause, they all share a common goal: improving the quality of life for the people who call our communities home. The concept behind Operation RoundUp is simple. Participating members voluntarily allow their monthly electric bill to be rounded up to the next whole dollar. Those extra cents—typically averaging only a few dollars per year for each member—are pooled together and administered by the Operation RoundUp Board of Trustees. The result is a fund that provides financial assistance to organizations and projects that benefit residents across Southeastern Indiana REMC’s service territory. What makes the program unique is that the impact comes directly from members helping members. No single contribution is large on its own, but when thousands of members participate, the collective impact becomes significant. It’s a powerful example of the cooperative principle of concern for community in action. Over the years, Operation RoundUp grants have helped support a wide range of local needs. Funding has assisted food pantries serving families facing hardship, volunteer fire departments purchasing equipment, youth organizations creating opportunities for children, and community groups working to improve local facilities and services. These investments help strengthen the communities where our members live, work, and raise their families. Each year, organizations throughout our service area submit applications requesting funding for projects that align with the program’s mission. The Operation RoundUp Board of Trustees carefully reviews each application and evaluates how the requested funds will benefit local residents. Their thoughtful stewardship helps ensure member contributions are used responsibly and effectively. In July, the Board of Trustees will once again gather to review applications submitted during the most recent funding cycle. While the projects may vary from year to year, the purpose remains the same: supporting initiatives that create positive and lasting impacts throughout southeastern Indiana. As we celebrate the power of community in this month’s issue, Operation RoundUp serves as a reminder that meaningful change often begins with small acts of generosity. By working together, Southeastern Indiana REMC members continue to make a difference in the lives of their neighbors and help strengthen the communities we all share. That’s the cooperative difference—and that’s the power of community. Looking Ahead The next opportunity for eligible nonprofit organizations to apply for Operation RoundUp® funding will be in December 2026.

Supporting education, training, and hands-on experience through the cooperative difference. One of the Seven Cooperative Principles is Education, Training, and Information. At Southeastern Indiana REMC, that principle goes beyond sharing information with members—it also means investing in opportunities that help individuals learn, grow, and prepare for the future. Each summer, SEI REMC welcomes students and young professionals into the cooperative to gain valuable real-world experience while working alongside employees in a variety of departments. These opportunities provide hands-on learning that helps participants develop workplace skills, explore potential career paths, and gain a deeper understanding of the services that help power and connect our communities. Throughout the summer, these students will have the opportunity to learn from experienced employees, contribute to meaningful projects, and gain firsthand insight into the day-to-day operations of the cooperative. Whether assisting members, supporting communications efforts, or helping maintain the materials and resources needed to serve our communities, each role plays an important part in the cooperative’s success. Programs like these reflect the cooperative commitment to investing in people. By providing educational and workforce development opportunities, SEI REMC helps prepare future generations for success while strengthening the communities we serve. The knowledge and experiences gained today can help shape tomorrow’s workforce, community leaders, and industry professionals. As we celebrate Community Power this month, we’re proud to support students and young professionals as they build skills, gain confidence, and explore new opportunities. Investing in education, training, and hands-on experience is one more way Southeastern Indiana REMC helps power stronger communities-- today and for generations to come.

The SEI REMC Co-op Kids Club was created to help young members learn more about electric, fiber, safety, and the cooperative difference in a fun and engaging way. Since launching the club, we have enjoyed welcoming families, sharing hands-on activities, and introducing kids to the many ways their local cooperative serves the community. As we continue building the program, we’re thinking about how we can make the Co-op Kids Club even more meaningful, accessible, and fun for families throughout our service territory. Because schedules can be busy for families, we are discontinuing the in-person Co-op Kids Club meetings and focusing our efforts on new ways to keep kids connected to the co-op. Families are encouraged to sign up to receive a FREE Kids Club Kit each quarter. The kits, which will be mailed to your home, include kid-friendly activities, seasonal surprises, educational resources, and more. It’s FREE and it’s a great way for kids to learn more about what it means to be part of a cooperative. Thank you to the families who have participated in the Co-op Kids Club so far. We’ve enjoyed the opportunity to meet and work with your kiddos! We look forward to continuing to grow the club in ways that are exciting, useful, and accessible for families across southeastern Indiana. To sign up for the SEI REMC Co-op Kids Club, visit our website or contact our office for more information.

July is a month filled with celebrations of independence. Across southeastern Indiana, families will gather for cookouts, community festivals, parades, and fireworks displays as we celebrate our nation’s founding and the freedoms we enjoy every day. As I reflect on Independence Day, I’m reminded of another value that has played an important role in shaping our communities: cooperation. While independence is something we cherish, many of the things that make our communities strong are built through people working together. Strong schools, thriving local businesses, community organizations, volunteer efforts, and cooperative utilities all share one thing in common—they succeed because people invest in something larger than themselves. That principle is at the heart of Southeastern Indiana REMC. As a cooperative, we are different from most businesses. We are owned by the members we serve, and our success is measured not only by the services we provide but by the positive impact we have on our communities. Every day, our employees work to deliver reliable electricity and fiber internet, but our purpose extends beyond maintaining infrastructure and technology. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for the members and communities we serve. That mission influences the decisions we make and the investments we prioritize. It can be seen in our support of local organizations, educational programs, scholarships, youth leadership opportunities, energy-saving initiatives, and community events. It can be seen when employees volunteer their time to local causes and when members participate in programs that help strengthen our communities. Most importantly, it can be seen in the relationships we build with the people we serve. In today’s world, it can sometimes feel like we are more disconnected from one another than ever before. Yet time and again, we witness the opposite throughout southeastern Indiana. We see neighbors helping neighbors after storms. We see volunteers stepping forward to support local causes. We see businesses, schools, churches, and civic organizations working together to create opportunities for future generations. These moments remind us that community remains one of our greatest strengths. As a member of Southeastern Indiana REMC, you are part of something much larger than a utility provider. You are part of a cooperative that exists because people believe in working together to improve life for everyone. That belief continues to guide us as we invest in new technologies, support local communities, and prepare for the future. Thank you for being a member of Southeastern Indiana REMC and for the trust you place in us. Together, we continue to demonstrate the power of community every day. I wish you and your family a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day. Keith Mathews CEO, Southeastern Indiana REMC

Some numbers tell a story bigger than what first appears on the page. At Southeastern Indiana REMC, one of those numbers is 982. That is the combined number of years current employees have served the cooperative. Behind those 982 years are lineworkers, member service representatives, tree trimmers, engineers, fiber employees, accountants, leadership, and support teams who have helped carry the cooperative through decades of change. The tools have changed. The technology has changed. The systems have grown. But the heart of the work remains the same: serving members and showing up when they need us most. Dianna Jeffries, who marked 40 years with the cooperative this June, has seen Member Services evolve from handwritten paperwork and in-person payments to online tools, digital payments, account systems, and new communication channels. “Before computers, we did everything on paper,” Dianna said. “Pink paper was for connects. Yellow paper was for disconnects. The servicemen took those papers into the field, brought them back, and we figured final bills by hand.” Today, members can manage much of their account online through SmartHub and other digital tools. While the technology has changed, Dianna says one thing remains the same. “What has stayed the same is our friendly faces and friendly voices,” she said. “A lot of members still like talking to a live person instead of a machine.” That cooperative spirit is especially evident during major outages. “When other co-ops came to help after storms, you’d look out and see the parking lot full of line trucks,” Dianna said. “It gave you chills. Co-ops come together in a time of need.” George Bultman, who celebrated 36 years as a full-time employee this June, has watched field operations evolve through advances in mapping, equipment, and technology. “The mapping program has been one of the best things to happen to the co-op,” George said. “It helps you connect the dots and find better ways to do the work.” Yet for George, relationships remain just as important as technology. “If you show people respect, that makes a difference,” he said. Weather continues to be one of the greatest challenges in providing electric service. Line Foreman Gary Thomas remembers a severe Christmas snowstorm when crews worked around the clock to restore power. At one point, he recalls sitting in a truck beside a pond, eating Christmas dinner with fellow linemen while monitoring a nearby aerator fountain. When the fountain stopped, they knew power was out again—and it was time to return to the lines. Stories like these represent what years of service truly mean: holidays spent away from family, employees answering phones during outages, crews working through severe weather, and departments working together when members need help most. “Our members are everything to us,” Dianna said. “They’re the reason we’re here.” Behind the numbers are the people who have done that work year after year. Their combined 982 years of service are more than a measure of time—they reflect dedication, resilience, local knowledge, and the cooperative spirit that continues to power Southeastern Indiana REMC forward. Employee Service Snapshot Current employees counted: 81 Combined years of service: 982 Longest-serving employee: 48 years Employees with 5+ years: 51 Employees with 10+ years: 36 Employees with 20+ years: 19 Employees with 30+ years: 9 Employees with 40+ years: 2

Community power isn’t just electricity. It’s neighbors, members, employees, and local leaders working together to improve life in southeastern Indiana for generations. In the early 1930s, most rural homes across America lived without electricity. While cities enjoyed the convenience of electric lights, refrigeration, and modern appliances, many families in southeastern Indiana still relied on kerosene lamps, wood stoves, and hard manual labor to complete everyday tasks. Bringing electricity to sparsely populated rural communities wasn’t considered profitable by traditional utilities. Rather than accept being left behind, local residents came together to create something different. In 1939, Southeastern Indiana REMC was established as a member-owned electric cooperative with a simple but powerful goal: bring reliable electric service to the communities that needed it most. The work wasn’t easy. Early crews set poles by hand, built miles of electric line across fields and hillsides, and connected homes that had never before experienced the convenience of electricity. For many families, the first light switch represented more than power—it represented opportunity, progress, and a better quality of life. The impact was immediate and far-reaching. Electricity transformed daily life for rural families, allowing homes, farms, schools, and businesses to operate more efficiently and opening the door to new opportunities for growth and prosperity. What began as a handful of members working toward a common goal grew into a cooperative serving thousands of homes, farms, and businesses across southeastern Indiana. Over the decades, Southeastern Indiana REMC continued to evolve alongside the communities it serves. Investments in infrastructure, technology, and reliability helped ensure members received safe, dependable electric service through changing times and growing demand. Through storms, economic shifts, and technological advancements, the cooperative remained focused on delivering the reliable service members depend on every day. While the tools and technology have changed dramatically since 1939, the cooperative spirit that built Southeastern Indiana REMC remains the same. Members continue to guide the cooperative through elected leadership, helping shape decisions that impact the future of their communities. Employees work every day to maintain and improve the systems that power homes, schools, farms, healthcare facilities, and businesses throughout the region. In recent years, that spirit of community led to the next chapter in the cooperative’s story. As access to high-speed internet became increasingly important for education, healthcare, business, and everyday life, members expressed a growing need for reliable broadband service. A 2019 survey revealed overwhelming support for expanded internet access, helping pave the way for the creation of SEI Fiber. Much like the cooperative’s efforts to bring electricity to rural communities decades earlier, SEI Fiber was built on the belief that where you live shouldn’t determine your access to essential services. Today, fiber internet is helping connect students to educational opportunities, enabling remote work, supporting local businesses, improving access to healthcare, and strengthening the quality of life for families throughout southeastern Indiana. The cooperative’s impact extends beyond electric and fiber services. Through scholarships, youth leadership programs, energy efficiency initiatives, charitable giving, educational opportunities, and community events, Southeastern Indiana REMC continues to invest in the people and places it serves. Programs like Operation RoundUp® help support local organizations and projects, while educational programs help prepare future generations of community leaders. Today, the cooperative’s impact can be seen across southeastern Indiana—in homes powered by reliable electricity, businesses connected through fiber internet, students pursuing educational opportunities, and communities strengthened through local support and investment. While the services have evolved over the decades, the focus has always remained on improving the quality of life for the members and communities we serve. More than 87 years after the first poles were set, Southeastern Indiana REMC remains committed to safely providing reliable electricity and diversified services to the members and communities it serves. While the technologies have changed, the cooperative’s commitment to improving quality of life throughout southeastern Indiana remains as strong as ever. From bringing electricity to rural farms to expanding fiber internet across southeastern Indiana, Southeastern Indiana REMC’s story has always been about people working together to create a better future. That’s the power of community. And it’s a legacy that continues to grow with every generation.
