VMEU
participated in
the
Change

light,
change
the
world
Compact
Fluorescent
Lamp
(CFL)
program
this
year.
The
program
concluded
on
November
30,
2007
and
was
a
very
successful
promotion.
A
total
of
155
customers
purchased
1149
CFL's
during
that
promotion
at a
cost
to
the
utility
of
just
under
$2,500.
Thank
you
to
all
who
participated.
As
energy
prices
continue
to
increase,
the
CFL's
that
you
purchased
will
help
to
offset
those
increased
costs
on
your
electric
bill.
