Hey folks,

Hopefully you all have recovered from your New Year?s experiences and have all set your resolutions for the new year and have kept them so far. Just because the Holiday season is winding down that does not mean we are slowing down at the GLCC! We have many events going on and we hope to see you soon!

You can help support the GLCC simply by changing your energy provider. Starion Energy has partnered with the GLCC to make a $10 donation for every new customer that enrolls and then a $2 donation to the GLCC for each month you use Starion Energy. If you sign up, your local energy company will still distribute your electricity, send you your bill and respond to any emergencies, so there is nothing to lose! Sign up with Starion by following this link, lower your energy costs and support one of your favorite organizations.
