News & EventsIllinois Country LivingIllinois Country Living magazine is published monthly by the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives (AIEC) and mailed to members of the cooperative. The magazine covers rural issues, and provides commentaries from Illinois leaders, columns on safety, health, energy conservation, gardening, a calendar of events, and of course, the ever popular recipes from Illinois' best country cooks. The magazine's job is to help electric cooperatives communicate with their members, the consumers who own the local electric utility. Magazines like Illinois Country Living do a good job of communicating because they tend to stay in the home longer than bill stuffers or newsletters, thus increasing readership. In the center of the Illinois Country Living you will find a newsletter titled The Wire which is customized to provide McDonough Power members with up-to-date information about their electric cooperative. |
