Learn More About Consolidation
Website Established to Answer Your Questions
This is an exciting time as we prepare for a vote of our membership on the proposed unification of Southwest Landmark and Advanced Agri-Solutions. In January, members will have the chance to cast their vote on the consolidation of the two companies. Southwest Landmark and Advanced Agri-Slolutions have complementary missions, capabilities and service areas, which would combine to strengthen both cooperatives. An informational web site has been created at www.creatingourfuturetogether.com. This go-to location will provide the following information on the merger: - View video interviews with the CEOs of both co-ops
- Review Frequently Asked Questions
- Submit your questions about the consolidation
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact your branch manager or the main office. We want to ensure you are adequately equipped to make an informed decision when the vote comes before you in January. |

'Tis the Season for Propane Safety
Southwest Landmark Energy Customers, watch for the
Gasette newsletter and our annual Duty to Warn letter in your mailbox. Here is a preview of some of the valuable information included in the newsletter:
ALLOWING A TANK TO RUN OUT OF GAS CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION!
Do
not let your tank run out! Allowing a tank to run empty, or even just
shutting off the tank, causes an unsafe situation. If this occurs, we
must check the gas system for leaks and make sure pilots relight. A
responsible adult must be home when we make deliveries to an empty tank.
IF YOU SMELL PROPANE OR SUSPECT A LEAK:
- Leave the area immediately.
- Do not operate electrical switches or use the phone.
- Warn others to stay away.
- Close all propane tank valves (see enclosed guide).
- Call us, or your local fire department, immediately from a neighbor's phone.
