Magic Master game 2012

Annual Magic Master event sponsored by the Briarcliff Rotary Club was held on Friday night Nov. 9th rather than the originally scheduled  Nov. 2nd due to the unexpected Hurricane Sandy visit to the area.       The game between Magic Master and the all star Briarcliff team was won overwhelmingly by the audience/spectator, especially young ones as you can see from the slide show below.       See you all next year again!!!

Green Mountain Energy was started in 1997 in Vermont.  Save the planet is the goal and to change the way power is made.  In 1992 the Energy Power Act was passed to de-regulation and allow people to buy other energy suppliers trying to drop prices. Con Ed prices vary every day.  There are now 40 – 50 suppliers to buy energy from in New York.  There is a tax break for going through another supplier.  Green Mountain is the only one to use renewable energy.  10% is from wind and 90% is hydro.  Our speaker presented many energy saving tips and gave an informative handout which is available to anyone who missed our meeting.
