2012 Energy Pledge delivery to be held October 24
October 19, 2011
Students in grades 6 through 12 will be visiting every home in Rothsay on Monday, October 24, from 2:00 p.m. into the evening to ask for each resident's pledge to voluntarily reduce energy use in their homes throughout 2012.
The Energy Pledge includes suggestions that, when followed, will help residents reduce energy use and potentially save money!
If you aren’t available on October 24, the students will leave the packet of information at your home. Please review the pledge and return it by November 30 in the envelope provided or to Rothsay Public School (attention Colleen Brandt). We hope for 100 percent participation in the Energy Challenge. So we look forward to seeing what you can do through your Energy Pledge! If you have any questions, please contact Otter Tail Power Company's Idea Center at 800-493-3299.
