We had a great Board meeting last night.  Even though the weather was cold, almost all of our members were there.  A lot of interesting and exciting topics were discussed.  Our power requirements and the possibility of increasing our use of alternative energy.  How far we can go with providing free Digital TV to Summit County.  Getting involved in WiFi.  And of course, our newly energized marketing efforts to create awareness of what we actually do.

Around thirty years ago, a group of hearty guys with a vision for the future dug a channel and laid several cables for an electric line, from the main power transformer on Boreas Pass Road all the way up to what is now the Electronic site, up above timberline, on Baldy Mountain.
