It’s that time of year when many of us make New Year’s resolutions. A New Year’s resolution is a commitment to change something or do something that is advantageous. Why not make a resolution to:

RESPECT AND ALWAYS USE ENERGY SAFELY!

Energy Safety is one of the easiest resolutions to make and to keep. It is also one of the most beneficial resolutions for your health and to enjoy all the comforts of your surroundings. Whether at work or at home, whether with family and friends or enjoying time on your own, a resolution to use energy safely is something that you can practice each day of the New Year. Visit mesaaz.gov/energy for more information.

Sponsorship and vendor booth opportunities from $100 on up are also being accepted. If you would like to participate or donate to the event, please contact Cindy Hunt at (480) 644-2863 or email cindy.hunt@mesaaz.gov.
