I had already converted a lot of bulbs to LED, so it was a challenge to find two more, but I did!

Lynn Winchester Kinsman 4/27/2020 9:54 AMI listened to the "Connections" program from March 9 about the Penfield Community Choice Aggregation project. I also checked out their website. I am already on their mailing list. I sent the organizers an email asking for what the lastest status of the project is, since the Town Board hearing on March 4. -

Lynn Winchester Kinsman 4/26/2020 6:35 PMI used a relatively new portion of sidewalk in my town and it made a huge difference in safety. I also used a pedestrian crossing that is even newer. I was grateful for both of these improvements my town has made in the last few years. I also used a pedestrian crossing at a major intersection that has always been there, and I am grateful for that also.
