Marc Maxwell Illuminates Our Power to Choose

Filed under Events, News
Marc Maxwell will be in front of Lou Vineys Restaurant this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. to shed some light on how you can save money on your electric bill. BRING YOUR ELECTRIC BILL, he won’t be able to assist you without it.
Now may be a good time to review your electric bill. Rates for electricity have dropped in the past year largely because of falling natural gas prices. If you don’t know what rates are available, or what you are already paying, it’s time to have a look.
Mark will have his laptop with him to take you online and show you how you have the power to choose.
If you haven’t had the chance to read his article, You Have the Power to Save Money on Your Electric Bill, it’s very illuminating. (I’m sorry, I had to say it!)
