COUNTRY LIVING

Each month, the Cooperative communicates with the membership through the award winning Country Living magazine. It is Ohio's largest circulation monthly rural magazine. The statewide association, Ohio Rural electric Cooperatives, produces the master section. The center pages of the magazine are devoted exclusively to Darke Rural Electric Cooperative. It's the Cooperative's official newsletter and is a great way to find out what's new at the Cooperative. The newsletter often provides a feature story from one of its members and gives safety and energy-saving tips in addition to promoting its various marketing programs.
