It's that time of year again when Boone Electric Cooperative members may notice a credit on their account or a check in the mail. Why is your electric utility returning money to you? It's a fundamental part of the electric co-op way of doing business called capital credits. BEC General Manager and CEO Todd Culley and Chief Financial Officer Ryan Euliss join the show to discuss what capital credits are, where they come from and what they represent in the co-op's financial structure.

It's the season of giving, and once again Boone Electric Cooperative is partnering with Q106.1's Secret Elf Toy Drive to bring some holiday joy to kids at MU Children's Hospital. Head elves Q106.1's Damon Knight and Children's Miracle Network Assistant Director Kristen Fritchie join the show to discuss the 16-year legacy of this homegrown initiative, the best gifts to give this holiday season and — most importantly — how to participate in the 2025 toy drive.

Our journey through the 7 Cooperative Principles comes to a close with Concern For Community. Boone Electric Community Trust President Kelly Sharp joins us to discuss the Trust's history of giving in mid-Missouri, how grant applications are reviewed and the scholarships available to high school students in the Columbia area.
