In March 2020, MJM’s Membership unanimously voted to launch Operation Round Up (ORU) at the annual meeting of Members. In January 2021, the program officially launched and if you are an active participant to the program, contribution amounts can be found on your monthly billing statements. If at anytime you want to change the status of your participation, please contact the billing department (217-707-6156, press option 2) or you may opt out by completing the Opt Out Form and email it to roundup@mjmec.coop or send it to MJM Electric, P.O. Box 80, Carlinville, IL, 62626. Members may also choose to contribute extra money each month in addition to the rounded-up amount. We thank YOU for voting ‘yes’ at the 2020 annual meeting which gives YOUR co-op this opportunity to assist in serving YOUR communities. Currently, 3 out of 4 residential MJM Members participate in ORU!
The mission of the Operation Round Up® Program is to assist in strengthening the communities served by MJM Electric. Through this innovative program, the “small change” is earmarked for community betterment groups and other programs in need of financial assistance.
