POWER CHECK – The San Miguel Power Assn.’s Board of Directors and General Manager Kevin Ritter (right to left) presented a $10,000 check to Paul Major of the Telluride Foundation, while BOD members Marcus Wilson, Wes Perrin, Rube Felicelli, Jerry Hoffer, Jack Sibold, Doylene Garvey and Dave Alexander looked on. The donation was made possible through SMPA’s Sharing Success Program, launched last fall by CoBank, an SMPA funding resource, offering rural electric cooperatives matching funds for donations made to charities in their communities. The program required that the donation needed to be given to a single entity; SMPA donated the full $10,000 to The Telluride Foundation, for a donor-advised account. (Courtesy photo)
