Hawthorne board member John Hoff was kind enough to allow me to document his home enegy visit from CEE. These free home visits include tips on how to make your house more energy-efficient, supplies and materials to make that happen, and information on access to more low-interest home rehab loans. In case this hasn't been emphasized enough, the visits and materials are FREE to owner-occupants. The only requirement is that recipients must first attend a workshop (which is ALSO free) put on by the Center for Energy and Environment. Here are the next two workshop dates:
Thursday, March 24, 6:00 pm
North Regional Library (1315 Lowry Ave N)
Thursday, March 31, 6:30 pm
Salvation Army (2727 Central Ave NE)
For more information, or to reserve a spot, contact Kyle Boehm at kboehm@mncee.org or 612-219-7334.
But wait, there's more! CEE and the McKnight Foundation have been generous enough to help fund a friendly cross-neighborhood challenge. There are various levels of awards given out for neighborhood participation. The more people participate, the greater award each neighborhood may be eligible for. So here's how it works for you as a Hawthorne resident: attend a free workshop about energy savings, get free materials that will make your home more energy-efficient, sign up for a free home energy visit where experts can give even more personal tips, AND participating can help fund your neighborhood organization.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up today?
