Growing up in a small town is a part of my life I will always cherish.   Our house had one telephone set out in the hall, and it was practically a permanent fixture.  I can easily recall the little stool adjacent to the phone, where you could sit if your call took a while.

Being just a child, I had no way of knowing then how the world of communications was about to change.

After World War II, rural America saw technology could come their way.  Landowners and farmers knew, through cooperative effort, they could bring utilities to their areas with applications for government grants and low interest loans.  Country folks finally gained access to commercial powerk city water and telecommunications.  It happened here, and we owe many thanks to those innovative pioneers who worked to create the MonCre Telephone Cooperative.

Technology today is growing at such a rapid pace.  It is a challenge to provide these services in the rural market to meet the needs of the customer, but being a member owned cooperative such as ours, and having the support of the community makes it all worthwhile.

Our goal here at MonCre is to be a full service ready provider.  Simply “just telephone” is of the past, and today it becomes our job to make phone technology available if and when you need it.

Our latest offering to our customers will be cellular phone service.  We are excited about this new service and we hope that you will be, too.  As of February 1, 2007, we became fully compliant with our deregulation process.  That means we will be able to bundle more services and reduce rates-once again, to save you money!  Watch for more information in March to learn more.

Good things happen here at MonCre.  We have an excellent staff that is always ready and dedicated to getting the job done.  It is a pleasure to work with dedicated people.  And, as always, thank you for allowing me to serve you as your General Manager.

Sincerely,

General Manager
