| A Note From Noah | Hi everyone,
I hope you've all had a great week and are finding
some relief from the heat! If you’re like me and are seeing a higher energy bill
this month from using the A/C, I encourage you to join our energy-focused
programs. Our next event is Online
Bill Pay this Tuesday at 3 pm — join us for some tips on paying your energy
bill online.
Next week, I’ll also be looking forward to our
lectures on Wearables and Voice Assistants. You can find all of our programming
details below.
Have a great weekend!
