This past fall, Fairfield Electric Cooperative launched the Co-op Connections program that offers further proof that being a member of an electric cooperative has its advantages. The Co-op Connections program, a new card-based member benefit program for Touchstone Energy ® cooperatives, is designed to deliver added value to cooperative members. The cooperative implemented the program in conjunction with the other Touchstone Energy co-ops serving 17 million member-owners nationwide.

The program benefits cooperative members by offering valuable discounts at participating local and national businesses. At the same time, those businesses benefit from increased customer visits by co-op members participating in the program.

Since launching the program in late September, several businesses have signed on to participate. An updated list of local and national participating busi-nesses can be found on the cooperative’s web site at www.fairfield.coop. If you don’t have access to the internet, give us a call, and we’ll be glad to mail you an updated list.

It is also easy to pick out which local businesses are participating. Look for the Co-op Connections stickers in their windows.

Whenever a Co-op Connections customer whether from Fairfield Electric Cooperative or from one of the hundreds of Touchstone Energy electric co-ops across the country — shows their card at a participating business, they receive a discount. If you have any questions, please give us a call.
