The United Nations has declared July 5, 2025, the International Year of Cooperatives, emphasizing their role in sustainable development. One way Indiana’s electric cooperatives embody this mission is through Project Indiana, which has brought electricity to remote Guatemalan villages since 2012, impacting more than 3,860 individuals in total. With six trips completed, the initiative has powered hundreds of homes, schools, and churches while supporting cooperative formation, education, and infrastructure.

WWVREMC members may receive a phone call or emailed survey invitation in April or May. Your responses will help ensure that we are serving our community effectively, planning to meet local needs, and responsive to opportunities to improve how we serve you.
The event will take place on June 12 at our facility, starting at 4 PM, and will include food, entertainment, and prizes. During the event, we will provide updates on our cooperative’s progress from 2024, priorities for 2025 and review the cooperative’s financial health. Your participation as a member is important, and this is an excellent opportunity to connect with board members, employees, and fellow members.
