Oakton Hosts 'Keep Warm Illinois' Meetings

"Keep Warm Illinois," a program to help state residents cope with rising energy costs, is the focus of meetings at both campuses of Oakton Community College. Featuring a one-hour program and Q-and-A session with a qualified energy expert, the "Keep Warm Illinois" meetings will be held 10 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 19, in the Business Conference Center at the Des Plaines campus, 1600 E. Golf Road, and 7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 13, in the Acorn Room at the Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie.

"With record natural gas prices, Illinois households will face significantly higher heating bills this winter," Gov. Rod Blagojevich says in a letter introducing "Keep Warm Illinois." "While every family in Illinois will be affected, higher home heating costs will create a particular hardship for senior citizens and families already struggling to make ends meet."

The "Keep Warm Illinois" Web site (keepwarm.illinois.gov) offers a variety of tips for households and businesses to save energy and lower their utility bills. Information about state energy assistance programs and help with utility service complaints also are available.
