At the March 2003 Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, we discussed the cycled Air Conditioning Electric Rate and the Whole House Electric Rate with our proposed changes. For your information, in case you receive any calls, are the letters sent to our customers concerning these rate changes. On Sunday, March 30, 2003, we attended the Elk River Chamber of Commerce Business Expo. Excellent crowds. We gave away over 400 compact fluorescent lamps after the recipient filled out the attached questionnaire. This questionnaire was a great education tool. We also had many good comments on our CIP brochures. Also as a result of this Expo, we gave 2 additional tours through our LFG facility. Our Wind Power brochure was also well received. Our customers purchased an additional 145 blocks of 100 KWH of energy. This year Elk River Municipal Utilities participated in the Math Mentor Program in our school district. On April 3, 2003, ten 6" graders from Salk School toured our plant facility.
