Thank You

I’d like to thank all our cooperative customers this year for their business. Patrons had an exciting year, we purchased a much needed propane truck. We have an excellent team built up to replace some of the retirements the past 18 months. My sincere thanks to Sam VanCleave, 20 plus years in the propane business and our new driver team, Joel Bingen, and Kim Bingen. They keep the product moving, safe and sound.

Safety is always our number one concern. We’ve completed a number of initiatives in 2024 and are proud of our track record.We take both on-line courses and attend propane and driver safety courses at the annual convention in South Dakota in September. We donated money to various good causes, benefits and rodeos throughout the year. We proudly serve our community and the areas where we do business. We understand our success is due to the many great members of the cooperative and their family and friends. It’s a big circle of caring and sharing, indeed.

We have about 20 or so customers enrolled in South Dakota Energy Assistance Program. We keep their tanks full for the cold winter months. If interested in the program, call Brett at the office for more details, 605-342-0721.

Thanks again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Patrons Cooperative Association in Rapid City.
