Button Up Warkshops – Ready to Go:

Central Vermont Community Action Council, in partnership with Efficiency Vermont, is bringing back its popular Button Up Vermont workshops for the fall/ winter of 2011. We're seeking businesses, non-profit organizations, and community groups to host a workshop and choosing a date and location for the workshop, and promoting the event locally. We'll do the rest -- provide the professional presenter, provide materials, and help you publicize your event. We've got everything you need to make this a success.

Button Up Vermont is a 90-minute workshop designed to help Vermonters understand why and how they should "button up" their homes to save energy and improve comfort. We've developed these workshops to help folks understand what they can do in a typical Vermont home, and where to start the process of making energy improvements. If you want to host one in your community, act now! We are scheduling Button Up workshops anytime on or after October 17, and you can call or email right now to arrange one. It's easy to host – all you need to do is:

• Find a location that can hold 25-50 people
• Choose a date and time (the whole event lasts around 2-2.5 hours with questions & mingling)
• Call Linnea Cecere, at Central Vermont Community Action Council at 802-477-5083 to book your date! You can also email her at lcecere@cvcac.org

Then, we'll confirm your date, arrange a presenter, and get you your "Hosting Toolkit"! See, it's easy to be an energy hero to your whole community!
