Medina Electric Cooperative and CoBank partner on donation
Medina Electric Cooperative presented the Dilley Public Library with a $4,000 donation on Friday, October 27. The presentation took place at the new building, with Mark Rollans, CEO of Medina Electric, and Ken Gajdos, with CoBank, and various Dilley residents. The donation was made possible through the members of Medina Electric Cooperative, and through CoBank’s Sharing Success charitable contribution program. CoBank, a national cooperative bank, is one of Medina EC’s financial partners.
Library Director Norma Herrera plans to use most of the donation for computers, a popular feature among Dilley residents. “They use them for applications, income tax, job searching, emails. Kids use them for school projects,” said Herrera. Assistance is available when appropriate, as well as printing and copying for a fee.
The donation was made possible through the members of Medina Electric Cooperative, and through CoBank’s Sharing Success charitable contribution program. CoBank, a national cooperative bank, is one of Medina EC’s financial partners. Through the Sharing Success program, CoBank matches an annual donation of up to $5,000 that Medina EC makes to up to three nonprofit organizations. Each year, Medina EC selects organizations located in a different parts of their 17-county service area to receive the donation.
