Dear Members,
 
As the school year winds down, many of us have been celebrating graduations of our families and friends. I too took part in such a celebration as my father achieved his PhD from Temple's Fox School of Business (congrats, Dad!). In this issue of EA Extra, we get to celebrate the achievements of the four students who were awarded scholarships through the EAP Educational Foundation (see below).

Wishing everyone a safe Memorial Day weekend while we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms here in the United States of America.

Contractor Referral Program

 
EAP provides customers with qualified contractors to conduct work in their homes or places of business. Whether a customer is sent to us through PECO or they find us via the web, member contractors who maintain up-to-date insurance information, have current HIC numbers, and provide us with a list of service area zip codes ensure they receive customer leads as part of their membership. Send us your updates at electric@eap.org
