Cameron, WI –
Thursday, October 10th, 2024 Mosaic Technologies opened its doors to members from across the county to celebrate the cooperatives. Approximately 1,000 patrons attended the annual event to celebrate and network with the Barron County Cooperatives and nonprofit organizations. Members received a free food truck meal and giveaways, and eligible members collected their capital credit checks.
Living out the cooperative principles, Mosaic Technologies, Barron Electric, Citizens Connected, WESTconsin Credit Union, Synergy Cooperative, Royal Credit Union, Mayo Health Systems, and Compeer Financial participated in coordinating and sponsoring this year’s event. The foundational 7 Cooperative Principles establish the guidelines for each company’s mission: democratic member control, concern for community, members economic participation, autonomy and independence, education training and information, cooperation among cooperatives, and voluntary and open membership. Months of planning and organization go into making a successful event as the Barron County Cooperatives work together to make each year’s celebration memorable and impactful. Through the help of the Barron County Sunrise Rotary, patrons were able to safely park and navigate the traffic.
This year’s celebration had an underlying theme of “Connecting Community” throughout the multiple booths. Baskets of nonperishable food items and paper products for the Prairie Farm-Ridgeland Emergency Food Pantry were collected totaling 558 pounds and $84. Among the food trucks, Barron Kiwanis flipped burgers and fried french fries to fundraise for a new Barron park bandshell. Many of the patrons lined up to support the nonprofit and its mission bringing the organization closer than ever to meeting their fundraising goals. The Salvation Army highlighted their upcoming holiday season Red Kettle Campaign. Barron County Historical Society and the Barron County Boys and Girls Club highlighted their capital campaign projects providing blueprints and fly-through opportunities for viewing. Barron County resources such as Sheriff Fitzgerald, WestCap, ADRC, and Health and Human Services provided networking and interactive booths. The event demonstrated the county coming together to celebrate, network, and connect.
“Mosaic Technologies was honored to host this year’s event. Evolving and elevating the event is always a topic of discussion among the cooperatives to give our members an interactive experience while saying ‘thank you’ for being a part of our cooperative. This year, we chose to support multiple local food truck businesses, nonprofit organizations and their missions, and connect members with local resources,” remarked De Anna Westphal, Mosaic Technologies Public Relations Manager.
