Services, Kyle Stuart. “The savings add up when there’s no bill to print, postage to pay and newsletter to print, and when the co-op saves money, it benefi ts everyone,” Stuart adds.

STEM experiment classroom kit.

Once enrolled in paperless, members are notifi ed by email each month when their bill is ready to view online. Access to past bills and historical usage has never been easier. 272601800

Concerned about identity theft?One of the ways to steal your identity is for someone to break into our mail box or go through your trash and steal your mail. By going paperless, you eliminate the paper bills and you gain more control of your sensitive documents.

PEC’s three winning delegates were selected by a panel of judges based on their personal interviews.
