Spreading the word on Energy Efficiency

The Emergency Services department is gearing up for the LIHEAP season. LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) is a federally funded program to help low income individuals with their winter heating bills.

Energy Education Coordinator, Stephanie Bugni gave a mini Energy Education Workshop to this year’s Energy Assistance workers.

CSC Energy Assistance clients receive information about available Energy Education Workshops and can sign up for a workshop at their appointment. The workshops focus on steps people can take in their home to reduce their energy cost. Each client who attends the two hour workshop receives a free weatherization kit filled with items to help increase their home energy efficiency.

Energy assistance workers now have a better idea of energy efficiency when referring clients to the Energy Education Workshops.

Welcome to CSC's blog and e-newsletter!

These communications tools can be used to make announcements, acknowledge donors and volunteers, post videos and slideshows–whatever we want to share with our online community.

There are 3 ways to deliver info to stakeholders:

  1. The blog itself, which can be linked to our current website
  2. Email news blasts (blog articles sent via email as eNewsletters)
  3. RSS Feed (subscribers read in Google Reader or other feed reader, can also send posts to Facebook and Twitter)
We're excited about these communication tools and look forward to both your input and feedback for continuing improvement and positive information-sharing.

If you have agency/program information you'd like posted on this blog, please send full text and/or photos and videos, ideas, or suggestions to Janet Hessel and she will take the next steps.
