Living With Energy In Iowa

Description

Welcome to Living with Energy in Iowa, the magazine for members of Iowa's electric cooperatives. Published by the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives, Living with Energy in Iowa has its roots in a proud, award-winning tradition of communicating to electric cooperative members about important issues involving electric cooperatives and electricity usage. The very first statewide electric cooperative publication in Iowa was an eight-page, large-format newspaper called Iowa Rural Electric Cooperative News, which was sent to electric co-op members in January 1948. After going through two name changes, the tabloid newspaper became a magazine-sized newspaper called Iowa Rural Electric News in July 1960. In that issue, editor David E. Bryant wrote the following, in part, to describe the purpose of the publication: " ... to help keep you informed on matters pertaining to your electric co-op ... and to provide how-to-do-it information and ideas which will help you make the most effective and efficient use of the electric power which you're purchasing through your electric co-op." Not surprisingly, we have those same goals today. The title of the magazine — Living with Energy in Iowa — reflects that we think life is pretty good here in Iowa. In fact, it's a phrase that says a lot about how to approach life in Iowa, and it permeates the pages of the magazine. Living with Energy in Iowa shows how electric cooperatives contribute to the local economic growth and betterment of their communities and how they work to provide safe, reliable and affordable electricity. The magazine also offers tips on reducing energy bills, making energy-smart purchases and planning energy-efficient remodeling projects — along with stories on Iowans with interesting businesses or hobbies and coverage of family vacation destinations in the state. And, of course, every issue showcases recipes — many of them contributed by members across the state. The phrase "Living with Energy in Iowa" is a mark registered within the state of Iowa to the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives.
