March 2024

Your Touchstone Energy Cooperative

Spring into March 🐇

It’s time to spring into March as we (hopefully!) leave behind our winter snows and frigid temperatures. Don’t forget that Daylight Saving Time springs us ahead on March 10 and that our official first day of Spring is March 19.

Our articles this month feature seasonal topics including Daylight Saving Time, keeping your family safe from poisonous chemicals and safely digging near underground utility lines. As always get in touch with any questions you might have.

 

Directors Hit Road to Visit Commercial Members

ratio  

Midland Power's board of directors recently spent a blustery January day visiting several of the co-op’s large commercial members in Boone and Polk counties. The tour allowed the directors to learn more about the innovative organizations and how Midland’s programs are helping to build a thriving business climate in central Iowa.
