October 2020 Newsletter
Dear valued member,

A big thanks to our membership for your active engagement this month. We had more than 450 registrations for our Virtual Town Hall Series on LPEA's future power supply options, which far exceeded expectations. We plan to host similar events in the future so stay tuned!

If you haven't been able to attend yet, our last meeting is tonight at 7 p.m. for District 4. All members are welcome. Next week, recordings of the four meetings will be posted to our YouTube channel, and questions from the meetings (with answers) will be posted to the Fact Checker section of our website.

Read on for more of the latest news, resources, and offerings from LPEA. And don't forget! You still have a few more days to win a $50.00 gift card. To enter, take the 5-question LPEA quiz by October 31st.
