CELEBRATING NATIONAL CO-OP MONTH Being part of a cooperative means being part of something special. Cobb EMC is celebrating National Cooperative Month in October, along with 40,000 other cooperative businesses serving more than 120 million people nationwide. With the seven cooperative principles binding these unique and diverse businesses, we see that co-ops truly build a better world. We held our 78th Annual Meeting in September, and to us, this event represents our appreciation to our members.
