INC NEWS - Night of Better Lights

[Judy Kincaid]

In Watts Hospital - Hillandale neighborhood, they are planning a "Night of Better Lights" along with their annual luminary "Night of Lights" in December. This means they'll be selling compact fluorescent lightbulbs alongside of the luminary supplies.  If your neighborhood is interested in doing this, here are some suggestions:

(1)  Not Just Paper on Main Street (a locally owned business) offers group discounts on compact fluorescent lightbulbs.  Contact Jill Fulmer at 688-6886.  

(2)  Pine State Electric (also a locally owned business) offers bulk discounts on compact fluorescent lightbulbs.  Contact Keigh McClintock, 682-9258.

(3)  Watts Hospital Hillandale is currently negotiating with Home Depot regarding donations or discounts.  Email mhayes7 at nc.rr.com for up-to-date information on this.

As many of you know, Clean Energy Durham (www.cleanenergydurham.org) is encouraging the formation of neighborhood energy committees so that neighbors can help neighbors learn how to save energy in their households.  We offer help on setting up a committee and organizing activities.  Contact me at jkincaid at earthlink.net for more information.
