Do you still believe?
In the spirit of "The
Polar Express", we gave out free 'I Believe' bells.
Over 1,100 bells were given out during the month to
local believers. |

LED's has reduced our power consumption by almost 20%)

in December: still not as bad as you might think
- Extension cords
used:
lost count but approximately 150 totaling about 4,400 feet

unknown (little do they know, power is on continuously on
some of
those cords all night long)
