The National Recreation and Parks Association recognizes the importance of parks and recreation in our daily lives during July. Get a head start in June with an array of activities, from hiking in a scenic state park to playing frisbee at a neighborhood park, there is something for everyone.

You do not have to travel far to find adventure! Dames Ferry Park, the only campground at Lake Juliette, is surrounded by a crystal-clear fishing lake formed by the Ocmulgee River, and most campsites have water views.

High Falls State Park boasts hiking trails, a swimming pool, boating, Aqua Cycle, kayak, and canoe rentals, plus campsites that range from paddle-in primitive sites to glamping yurts.

Indian Springs State Park is a local favorite and one of the oldest state parks in the nation. The park is well-known for healing spring water and nature trails.

Are you a sports fan? Henry County Parks and Recreation provides youth and adult sports, special events, and programs for people of all ages.

Get plugged into your local parks community by volunteering. Opportunities range from coaching a sports team to cleaning up a hiking trail.

Notice of Capital Credits Assignments

Central Georgia EMC (CGEMC) announces that the capital credits assignment for 2022 is 1.92%. In an electric membership cooperative structure, like CGEMC, each dollar paid in excess of the cost of providing service is an investment in CGEMC by its customer-owners.

At the end of the year, and after all expenses are paid, any remaining funds are assigned to customer-owners’ accounts. CGEMC’s margins are used as capital until they can be returned through a general refund without impairing the cooperative’s financial condition.

Your capital credits assignment is calculated by multiplying your total electric bill for the year, minus the sales tax and any miscellaneous charges times 1.92%.

For example:

• If your annual bill totaled $500 x .0192, then your assignment is $9.60
• If your annual bill totaled $1,000 x .0192, then your assignment is $19.20
• If your annual bill totaled $1,500 x .0192, then your assignment is $28.80
• If your annual bill totaled $2,000 x .0192, then your assignment is $38.40

Note: Assignments do not include Central Georgia EMC large power accounts.
