Shore Homes East and West Celebrate Labor Day | |
Shore Homes East and West have a tradition of celebrating the holidays together with a meal. Labor Day is no exception, so they got together and had a delicious dinner of hamburgers, Polish sausage, Portuguese sausage, poppy seed cake (German cake), cookies, potato salad, macaroni salad, marshmallow candy, soda, and plenty of water. As you can see, it was a enticing feast to celebrate the end of summer. | |
The whole crew came out to dine in the sunshine for the Labor Day celebration. | |  |
It is special to get the whole group together for holidays! | | |

Update from Kevin, Shore's ComEd Ambassador | |
|
Hi, my name is Kevin and I am a ComEd Ambassador.
Here is my energy saving tip of the month.
Did you know that drafts waste a lot of energy? The main culprits tend to be windows, doors, chimneys, cracks and gaps, attics and basements, and your HVAC system.
To find the drafts, on a windy day, close all your doors and windows. You can then use a candle to see where the flame flickers. At night, use a flashlight. Check if light shines through your closed door and windows. If you can see the light through the frames, air is getting through. If you want to use something more accurate, you can use a wind meter or a thermal detector. By finding and correcting the drafts, you save energy and make your home more comfortable. Happy Fall!
