P.O. Box 69 Ellendale, ND 58436 Network Connections January/February 2016 New Year’s greeting from DRN’s CEO/General Manager Our entire organization joins me in sending holiday greetings with every good wish for the New Year! This time of year is a time for all of us here at DRN to be thankful for the opportunity to serve as your total technology solutions provider. It is also a time of year when the term local takes on extra meaning to DRN as a member-owned cooperative. We are commited to contribute to the organizations that help make the communities we serve a better place. Our board of directors and employees make financial donations and give of their time to assure DRN lives up to its responsibility as a cooperative to serve its members growing needs. I am happy to announce once again this year at our November Board Meeting, the DRN Board authorized the retirement of capital credits. Capital credits represent the co-op principle of member Robert K. Johnson CEO/General Manager economic participation. DRN issued 9,217 checks to members retiring over $2.2 million in December. The average dividend check was $245 and is equivalent to one free year of local telephone service. Including the dividend retirement this year, DRN has returned more than $18 million in capital credits to its members in the history of your company. It is our wish that the timing of this disbursement helps to make your holiday season just a little brighter. n
