Love Ravenswood? Want to meet your neighbors? Get to know the issues in the community?

Join us for our Fall Social event at Bar Rista on Wednesday, Oct 5 at 7:00PM!

Mingle with neighbors and friends, celebrate the arrival of Fall, and hear from some of the community's leaders about the issues, opportunities, and plans for the neighborhood.

Our featured speaker will be Elizabeth Corrado from Elevate Energy, who will talk about how you can achieve more evergy and cost savings: The average household spends more than $2,000 annually on gas and electricity but there are opportunities to save. With new smart meters installed in Ravenswood, you can now take more control of your energy use and save money.

Many residents aren’t aware of pricing programs which leverage new smart meters, allowing you to pay based off of the times of day you use your electricity. Shifting electricity usage to lower priced hours can lower your electric bills. Elizabeth Corrado will talk about how these programs work as well as other ways you can take advantage of your new advanced meter.

Seating is limited so please reserve a space by registering today!

Finally, learn what the Ravenswood Neighbors Association is up to, what we're planning, and how you can get involved. We look forward to seeing you on Oct 5th!
