SPREADING JOY FOR MEMBERS THROUGH COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
We’ve teamed up with Cobb EMC members who will compete for your vote for the best light display. We invite you and your family to experience the joy of the holiday season and the spirit of giving by visiting all of the homes and voting in our award-winning holiday lights initiative.
Beginning December 1 and through December 25, we’ll post each of the houses on our Facebook page and ask you to vote for your favorite light display by giving it a “like”. The top three homes with the most “likes” will each receive a $500 donation from Cobb EMC to the nonprofit of their choosing.
SHARE TO WIN: To visit all the houses, follow the map located on the back of this page. Share your holiday lights photos on social media using the hashtag #CobbEMCLights for the chance to win a holiday gift basket. cobbemc.com/Holiday
HOLIDAY BILL CREDIT
We’re giving $4.4 million back to our members through a Wholesale Power Adjustment (WPA) credit. Look for WPA under current charges in your December bill* to find your credit, which is determined by your individual usage. cobbemc.com/WorkingForYou
