The Hospice Touch program was one of the recipients of Operation Round Up® money awarded by the Operation Round Up® board of directors. The generosities of Oakdale Electric Cooperative members who allow their electric bill to be rounded up to the next dollar each month enabled Hospice Touch to purchase a pulse oximeter. Hospice Touch is a full-service hospice program based out of Tomah Memorial Hospital. |

Oakdale Electric Cooperative’s voluntary Operation Round-Up® program is funded by cooperative members who have agreed to “round up” their electric bill to the next highest dollar amount. On average these members each contribute fifty cents per month or about $6 per year to the Operation Round-Up® fund. This small, tax deductible contribution may not seem like much, but the dollars add up quickly when enough members participate. When an Oakdale member signs up for the program, our computer is programmed to round up the bill. A summary of your contributions will appear on your January bill. If you change your mind about participating, simply contact our office.
To the members who have already signed up, there is nothing else to do.
There is no need to sign up again each year.
However, if you have not yet signed up, it’s certainly not too late to
join.
Individuals and community service organizations in
Oakdale Electric’s service territory are encouraged to apply for donations
from the Oakdale Electric Trust Fund. Requests
for assistance from Operation Round-Up are evaluated by the Oakdale Electric
Trust Board. Application
forms are available at the co-op office by calling 608-372-4131, e-mail us at info@oakdalerec.com
or by contacting one of these Operation Round-Up® board members:
Connie Albert,
Barbara Brooks, Pat Christensen, Tom Clay, Sandy Chroninger, or Daryl Soukup.
The fund was established to allow members of Oakdale Electric
Cooperative to support local charities, individuals and families in their
community.
