Weatherization Day, is planning an event and you are invited to participate. Weatherization Day was conceived as a way to focus local, State and national attention on the Weatherization Assistance Program and the work performed by organizations such as Community Services

save on their energy bills and putting people to work at the same time.

Look for the details....coming soon.
