The Energy Smart workshop was a hit! I was worried that the weather would keep people away, but they showed up in droves. (No official headcount yet, but I'm guessing about 1000.) I'm anticipating lots of news coverage, that I will link here, but I can't resist posting a few highlights for those of you who couldn't make it today:
1. Merle Purvis, our emcee, told Jerry Collins, our CEO, that he was a hottie. (Well, sort of.)
2. Mayor Herenton talked about carbon footprints.
3. Charles Echols taught us lots of easy and inexpensive ways to reduce our energy usage and therefore our utility bills.
4. Some very lucky winners received $500, $1000, and $1000 in utilities and energy efficient upgrades to their homes (thanks to TVA, Hunter Fans, and our other generous sponsors).
5. The woman who came to the Orpheum at 5am this morning so that she would be the first person in line had her utility bill paid by an anonymous donor.
