Paying power bill never easier
   Simplify your busy life with CHELCO's power bill bank draft program.

   Enroll anytime through the end of October 2013, and you get a shot at being one of 10 people to win a power bill credit worth $50. Members already in the bank draft program are also eligible for the prize drawing.

   The CHELCO bank draft program is all about convenience and hassle-free electricity bill payment.

  
Correct addresses wanted

   Though more and more CHELCO member are receiving and paying power bills online, many others rely on "snail mail."

   Using traditional mail service requires that CHELCO have your correct address and that the address you provide matches the address on file at the U.S. Post Office. A mismatch might result in your bill arriving late, which means less time to make a payment to avoid power shut off.

Office equipment energy savings

   If you are self-employed or your employer lets you work from home, you are probably saving a bundle on gas.

    You can save on electricity, too, if your home office is stocked with energy efficient computers and other office equipment.
  
Recipe for September

   OK, even this reuben sandwich made with turkey rather than corned beef isn't exactly a low-calorie treat.

   You can experiment with the recipe by using a little less of the fattier ingredients - mayo, cheese and butter - but why?

   Indulge and take comfort in some of the mouth-watering sandwich's good-for-you attributes. It has a dose of protein and some fiber.
 
Not-for-profit CHELCO, a Touchstone Energy cooperative, was founded in 1941. It delivers power to more than 44,000 meters in Walton, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Holmes counties.
