NAACP Weatherization Workshop

The NAACP Memphis Branch hosted a weatherization workshop in partnership with MLGW & TVA on Tuesday.


MLGW’s Will Williams talks with two participants about attic insulation at Tuesday night’s weatherization program held at First Baptist Broad Church, 2835 Broad Avenue. Williams recommended cellulose as the most affordable. He added that foam insulation is considered the best but pricey.


While Margie Borrum-Smith unrolls a piece of plastic sheeting, Will Williams explains how to install the sheeting over a window with a hairdryer. The hairdryer shrinks the plastic and provides a seal to prevent drafts. Both Borrum-Smith and Williams are a part of MLGW’s Energy Services program.

Everyone left the evening with a bag filled a half-dozen light bulbs, weather stripping, chalking and other energy saving measures valued at $100.
