How about an extra incentive?  Spark Energy has joined us once again as a sponsor of our event. Bring your electric bill to Young’s Appliances or The Prince’s Table and learn what type of savings you can get by making the switch.  No worries, your bill still comes from ComEd and they still remain your contact. You just get a lower rate.  Last year over 40 residents switched and we are excited to offer you the opportunity again.

Want another incentive? You get to pick from a variety of Downtown merchant gift cards worth $50 when you make the change.  That is inspiring as you have some important gifts to buy this evening….Mother’s Day is just one week away!  Want to sign up in advance? Visit sparkenergy.com and compare your bill.  Make the switch online and enter promotion code SHOPS, print receipt and bring it to registration night of the event.  We will give you your $50 gift card before you head out for the night.

Keep in mind May and June are filled with graduations, teacher gifts, communions, and weddings.  The perfect gift awaits you on this night of pure enjoyment.  Visit downtownglenellyn.com for more information.
