Coop News from EnerStar

For the eighth year, EnerStar Electric Cooperative has been awarded the CoBank Sharing Success matching grant. The grant’s purpose is to help cooperatives support causes and organizations important to the communities they serve. This year, the Compassionate Food Pantry of Edgar County, the Northern Edgar County Ambulance Service and the Chrisman Food Pantry each received $5,000.

For more than 50 years, the electric cooperatives of Illinois have given tomorrow’s leaders the opportunity to learn from today’s public officials, and EnerStar is on the hunt for two outstanding students to represent our co-op at Youth Tour this year. 

EnerStar’s Youth Tour is actually two separate events: Youth Day in Springfield held in March 2020, and the week-long, all-expense paid Youth to Washington trip on June 19 - 26, 2020.

People who love older homes usually get drawn in by their grandeur. They see a Victorian home in the historic district and fall in love with its stately staircase and intricate architectural features. Once they sign on the dotted line, they painstakingly restore woodwork, make sure windows are in working order and tend to other repairs. One of the top priorities on their “To Do” list should be to get the electrical system inspected by a qualified electrician.
