Mike Dreysprings, Chief Executive Officer of La Plata Electric Association was our speaker last week.  Mr. Dreyspring brought us up to date regarding some of the most important topics being addressed by their Board of Directors which include; deregulation, drone technology to better prepare linemen for repairs or outages, development of the smart grid, concerns over cyber security and preparing for electric cars.  Also discussed were the changes to the off-peak rate time schedule changes and information available by visiting the LPEA Smart Hub.  Mr. Dreyspring reminded us that we have three local representatives on the LPEA Board, Bob Lynch, Mike Alley and Bob Formwalt.  
 
  • It was another busy week for visitors to the Club - in addition to those attending to celebrate Leo's birthday, Neal Johnson brought John Shepard the Archuleta County Planner and Gertie Dixon joined us from the Morning Club.  We were also happy to have Tom & Ming Steen visit!
  • While this picture is not one of Nick Tallent it will give you an idea of just how cold this water is - Nick will be 'taking the plunge' again this year! This time he will go through the suffering for Big Brothers Big Sisters, a very worthy cause indeed. Nick encourages us to show up to watch the sled race and enjoy all the festivities next weekend. Give Nick a call and make a pledge to encourage him in his efforts!
