Enfield Community Currents Brought to you by the Enfield Community Council April -June 2018 Free Life has many unpredictable moments, many paths and memorable times. So enjoy the surprises, explore new paths, and cherish the memories. -unknown Happy Spring! It looks like spring might actually be here while I watch the drizzle out my window. We have had (collectively) a very busy last three months. Wow has time flown. ECC made the decision last meeting to NOT have the Country Faire this year. While many enjoy this event, we just don't have enough volunteers to get it setup. I have high hopes that we can do it again next year as it is my favorite spring thing for the last three years. The Harvest Festival will be September 29th, 2018. Save the date! The partnership between the Grange and ECC has led to a really fun Teen Night. Three teens organized the whole event from conception to clean up. Twenty-nine teens and pre -teens attended. They all had a great time. The teens may be organizing more events in the future. Our shed behind the Community Building still needs some repairs. Anyone who can donate time or materials, please contact Ann Rider at 227-1891. As with all organizations that rely on volunteers, we need more help. Those of us that are always helping are also always helping with other groups as well (mostly things relating to our children). We are overloaded and starting to burn out. Your donation of even 4 hours of your time a year can keep events going (such as the Country Faire and the Harvest Festival). And while ECC greatly needs volunteers, so do the Enfield Volunteer Fire Department, the Grange, the Red Cross, the food bank, and others. Please give when you can. As I always do, I encourage you to look in on your neighbors, especially those that live alone. Also, with the recent up rise in shady people doing shady things, please do not ignore the strange vehicle parked on the side of the road or in your neighbors driveway. Call your neighbor to make sure everything is okay. Or if there is no one there (or the vehicle is on the side of the road) call the police. Do not use 911 unless it is an actual emergency. Graduation and Prom will also occur before the next newsletter. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT drive impaired. This means do not drive after using alcohol, drugs, or no sleep. Call a friend, call a parent, call a friend's parent! Call anyone, just do NOT drive. And if you get that call, please just go get them and do not lecture. Let's work together to make sure all are safe! Be safe, Happy, and Healthy, Cortney Bailey Editor Enfield Community Council Seeks New Members The Enfield Community Council is prepping for a new building and a busy year. We would like to add to our board and find Enfield people to help us with our new projects. Tell us the type of things you can help with, and we will gratefully find a place for you. Our major focus is the youth of our community. Talk to your friends, search your thoughts. Contact Ann @ 227- 1891 or Cortney @ 279-4702, if you can help in any way.

Save Money With LED Light Bulbs Are you still using incandescent light bulbs? Would you like to save money and use less electricity? LED light bulbs are an excellent solu- tion. Many people looked at LED light bulbs a few years ago and concluded they didn't like the quality of the light they produced. The good - news is the technology is now vastly improved and -the current LED light bulbs. The ones called "warm" and "soft white" look GREAT! They contain no mercury (which compact fluorescents do). They're dimmable. And they're made in a large variety of wattages and shapes. Why make the switch? It's pretty straight -forward _ _ _ you'll both save money and contribute to a cleaner environment - Perhaps -you've been holding off because you think LED bulbs are too expensive. The cost has come way down. At the present an LED bulb that lasts for 25,000 hours can cost as little as $3_ A 60 watt incandescent bulb may cost less but lasts only 1/25''' as long. You will not only save on the cost of the bulb, but on your electricity bill. Here's a chart to show how much you stand to save annually by switching to LED bulbs. It's based on 3 hours of use per 60 Watt equivalent LED bulb per day at $.11 per kWh. (Though in January 2017 the rate was higher at $.17 per kWh, so when the rate is up you'll save even more.) So why not?

When Vera and Ann went over to inventory supplies for - the Harvest Festival, they noticed some shingles on the grass. Upon visual inspection, it was quickly deter- mined that they had fallen from the ECC shed, which is behind the Community Building. In fact, there are many, many shingles off this small building and the re- maining shingles are in very bad repair. When they looked inside, there are several places where you can see light and the interior plywood shows evidence of water damage. Could we get a community volunteer to replace our roof? The building is about 12 ft. high and roughly 12 X 16 ft. square. Does any one have some shingles left over from a repair they have done recently that they would donate? It would mean a lot to the Community Council. Call Courtney, 279-4702, Vera, 273-1413 or Ann, 277-3478 if you would like to practice tour repair skills and/or donate shingles.
