October is Co-op Month and we remind you that if you receive telephone service from RTC, you are a member. As a member, you are rewarded for doing business with your cooperative by earning capital credits on your telephone and Internet services. You also have an opportunity to take part in the cooperative each year by nominating and voting for candidates for director positions.

RTC was formed in 1951 to provide low cost quality telephone service to its member-owners. RTC is owned by its members and is governed by an eight member Board of Directors that meets monthly.
