The spirit of the season is alive thanks to MVEC employees' generosity! Last week, we donated 35 Christmas cookie/cupcake kits to the Jones County Food Pantry. These kits will provide a special holiday activity and treat to several area families in need, allowing them to create priceless memories together. A special thanks to Abby from MVEC's Accounting Department who did all of the shopping! #holidayspirit #concernforcommunity

About us
Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC) was organized December 27, 1935. MVEC is a private, nonprofit electric utility owned by the members it serves and was established to provide reliable, electric service at the lowest possible cost. MVEC serves over 13,000 members in the Eastern Iowa Counties of Delaware, Dubuque, Jackson and Jones and portions of five surrounding counties. The Cooperative is a nationwide leader in smart grid technology that has significantly improved service reliability, making MVEC one of the most reliable electric utilities in Iowa. This investment created a need for greater bandwidth to collect the wealth of data available and to expand the network to communicate with line equipment outside of the substations. In 2016, MVEC's board of directors approved the design and construction of a high speed fiber optic system to meet the Cooperative's bandwidth needs and to improve the quality of life of its members via a direct fiber connection to each member's home or business. The MVlink fiber optic initiative parallels the extension of electric services into rural Iowa over 80 years ago. Today, the need for rural Iowan's to be connected to the world is as great as the need for electricity was back in the 1930's. Construction continues with over 2,200 miles of fiber complete and 5,000 members taking service with up to 1 GB symmetrical service. This institution is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

MVEC kicked off the holiday season at Anamosa Chamber of Commerce's Parade of Lights last Saturday evening. The parade theme was Disney Christmas and MVEC's Toy Story-themed float won first place for business entry! While the weather was cold, Anamosa was warm with holiday spirit with many families braving the weather to take in the parade and horse-drawn carriage rides (sponsored by MVlink). A very special thank you to the MVEC employees who volunteered to help build the float and walk in the parade (despite the frigid temps). #merryandbright

Computer Security Day, November 30th, reminds us to protect our computers. Every day, computers become faster and more advanced. We use computers to stay connected. We bank, work from home, do our taxes, attend meetings, and research complex issues, all on computers. So, it only makes sense to do everything possible to keep these powerful machines secure. Our very identity exists on computers. Identity theft, fraud, ransomware, and viruses constantly attack our computers. In an instant, they take us offline, derailing a lifetime of accomplishment. Protect your family and business by giving your computers a security check-up: ✔️Enable Windows and all software Updates. ✔️Install and keep running antivirus software. ✔️Turn on Windows Firewall. ✔️Always use strong passwords ✔️Don't share passwords and don't write them down. ✔️Remove unused programs. ✔️Secure your wireless network. ✔️Back up critical data. ✔️Use caution when browsing the Internet.
