Christian Triple Cross Ranch, Pontotoc County, OK
A newsletter for PEC’s electric consumers
Let There be Light
Security lights provide peace of mind
P
EC-installed security lighting is not only the most convenient way
to light up the exterior of your home, it’s also economical.
The co-op installs and maintains outdoor security lights that come on
at dusk and turn off at dawn. Outside security lights can illuminate a
dark driveway or yard, and provide the extra light you need to safely
move around your property outdoors after the sun sets.
June’s Co-op Proud
product: Our popular
outdoor security light
(shown here), along
with 250 watt, 400
watt and 1000 watt
flood lights.
Security light rental currently starts at only $4 per month, plus usage
cost. Installation, operation and maintenance of the light on existing
poles are provided by PEC (certain restrictions apply).
If additional construction would be needed for a security light at
your location, or to request a security light, please contact PEC’s
Customer Service department toll-free 1-877-456-3031 or (580)
332-3031 (Ada area) Monday thru Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
Our popular outdoor security light, along with 250 watt, 400 watt and 1000 watt
flood lights are featured products during June. That means you'll receive a FREE
Co-op Proud CFL light bulb shaped night light and two (2) 60 watt compact
fluorescent lights when you take advantage of the security light program any time
this month.

Chickasaw Nation Medical Center. Save the date. Join us!
Volunteers from
PEC, Mercy and the
Chickasaw Nation
Medical Center will
be serving up free
food, tickets, t-shirts
and prize drawings
for a good cause on
Wednesday, July, 1.
Donate the life
saving gift of blood
and enjoy hot dogs,
chips and drinks from
9 am to 6 pm at the
6th Annual Ada AllAmerican Blood Drive.
Each donor will
receive a t-shirt, two
admission vouchers
to the Oklahoma
City Zoo and two
admission vouchers
to an Oklahoma City
Dodgers game (some
restrictions may apply).
Donors will also
be entered in several
great prize drawings,
and do not have to

far, drawing prizes
include an electric
ice cream maker and
electric smoker grill
sponsored by PEC and
two Bedré Chocolate
baskets sponsored by
the Chickasaw Nation
Medical Center.
All healthy persons
16 and older and
meeting certain
requirements* are
encouraged to donate
blood. 1023500401
On average, close
to 1,000 donors are
needed statewide
each day to meet all
the needs of patients
in the 150 hospitals
serviced by OBI in
Oklahoma.
Ada’s All American
Blood Drive comes at
a crucial time due to
the decline in blood
donors during the
July 4 holiday week.
In our area, 100% of
the hospitals receive
blood from OBI and its
donors.

Energy Efficiency Tip of the Month
Circulate savings! Ceiling fans are a great way to keep cool during summer months and can even allow you to
raise your thermostat setting about 4 degrees without affecting your comfort.
Check your fuse or breaker box.
Check with your neighbors. Are
they off? Have they reported the
outage?
Call our 24 hour Outage Reporting
System at toll-free 1-877-272-1500
or (580) 272-1500 (local Ada area).
Always report outages promptly!
Remember, the cooperative's
responsibility ends at the meter.
If a service call is made and the
trouble is found on the consumer's
side, a $50.00 service charge will be
assessed.
For faster service, please make
sure we have the correct phone
number(s) for your account on
file. Your phone number will
be used to access your account
information.
