About
Us
Ray moved into a new home in late
2002. Having a 500-gallon tank, he tried to buy around the supply and demand
peaks of the winters of 2002-2003 and 2003-2004, but knew there had to be a
better way of purchasing propane. He was wasting too much time shopping
for prices and trying to anticipate when to buy around the peaks. Plus,
the winter consumption was so great that he was paying premium prices because
everyone's propane was high during the winter.
For the winter of 2004-2005, he had
a plan. He called 4 of his friends and asked them to allow him to
negotiate their propane price for the winter and to agree to whatever he did;
all 4 readily agreed. He contacted several propane companies about locking in a
winter price for the 5 of them as a group, and the Propane Club was born.
We entered our 5th year (2008-2009) with
over 100 members, including two large camps, and a major city, consuming about 200,000 gallons of propane annually.
Our 6th year (2009-2010) has seen an
increase of members, a new church camp, the addition of "Club East," and even more buying power.
We entered the 2010-2011 by adding Ellis Baptist Association, the City of
Midlothian, and two new suppliers.
