       Oil Collections Contest Results

Alright folks, we have come to the end of the Oil Collections contest and we couldn't be happier with the results.

First place goes to Bob Clemen!  Not only did he give us half a dozen great leads......we actually closed 2 of them.  Thanks to Bob we have Tonali and Only Burger on board.  15 gallons of our best fuel goes to him.

 

Tied for second place and recipients of 5 free gallons of the good stuff:

 

*Carol Hewitt - Kitchen

*Chuck Crews - Sutton's Drug

*Gary Thompson - Spartacus

 

There have been several members who participated in the contest and provided us with some good leads.  In fact, we predict that we will close another 3 or 4 within the month.

 

Don't let the fact that the Oil Collections contest is over stop you from helping us to sign up more Partners in Sustainability.  We welcome leads anytime.  With your help, we can meet our 16,000 gallon a month goal.  There is more information and some marketing help on our website.  We have a new brochure coming out in the next couple of weeks, so feel free to download and hit your favorite eatery.

 

 

 

  

    
          MECHANIC SURVEY RESULTS

Thank you to everyone who responded to the recent membership survey regarding biodiesel friendly mechanics in the area.

 
It was good to hear about all those shops who love biodiesel and keep our diesel rides humming!
 
We have updated the Piedmont Biofuels website where we recommend certain mechanics that have been supportive of our coop members.
 
Check it out the updated site with new testimonials!
