Bloomsburg Children’s Museum

We Change Lives - YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN!

What a year! Because of your generosity, we were able to say yes! Yes, to provide art, history, culture, and STEM programs to over 27,000 people this year. Yes, to 23 new partners across ten counties in our region. Yes, to the schools, libraries, and community centers from Williamsport to Selinsgrove, Benton to Shamokin, and everywhere in between!

Donors like you made it possible for us to expand the number of programs and events we produce by 20% this year. Maybe you’ve seen us at your local library, attended one of our events, seen all we are doing on our Facebook page, or read about it in the paper. Where you keep up with the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum please know everything we do is because you make it happen! We think you’ll agree; we’ve been making

dollar trusted to us. I have to say; I feel a bit guilty because I get to see, first hand, the impact of your donations. I had a dad tell me that he’s amazed at what his son learns and retains in our science classes. I read a message from a mom who said she’d seen tremendous growth in her son with autism since being enrolled in our summer camps. Visitors from outside our area tell us countless times, “I wish we had something like this where we live.” We’ve partnered with local schools to identify education gaps and developed STEM, music, and fine arts programs to provide solutions for our community’s students. Looking to 2023, your donations could be used to expand our offsite instructor program to include new destinations, help to bring our new Solar Energy exhibit to life, add interactive components in our PreK play area, fund

Intro to Arduino Classes at your local school district, underwrite fine arts classes, support our free admission flagship events; The Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire, Geology Rocks, and BloomCON Hak4Kidz and so much more. Thank you for your support. I can’t wait to se the difference we can make next year!

Concerned About Flooding? Ensure Your Home and Belongings are Protected

(StatePoint) According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), floods are the most frequently occurring natural disaster in the United States, which

is why it is important to understand the risks and costs associated with flooding, and what you can do to protect your home.

Rampant storms and hurricanes are not the only causes of flood damage – leaky pipes can cause just as much water damage and put a huge hole in your wallet, too. According

What can you do to protect your home in the event of a flood? First, make sure you have flood insurance. Some people may think they don’t need flood insurance because of where they live. Many may also assume that flooding is included in their homeowners insurance policy when in fact, most homeowners policies do not cover flooding.

Why is that?

A string of flood disasters occurred throughout the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s that put tremendous financial strain on private insurers, so in response, the federal government created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to protect homeowners, renters and businesses.

Talk to your insurance agent about getting

flood insurance through NFIP. Some companies offer additional unique options. For example, Erie Insurance recently began offering a coverage called Extended Water that covers damage caused from flash floods, inland flooding, storm surges, snow melt and more. It covers the home and its foundation, electrical and plumbing systems, air conditioning equipment, furnaces and heaters, appliances and personal possessions, such as clothing and furniture. It even offers coverage if you need to temporarily relocate while your home is being repaired.

“As the frequency of flooding increases, homeowners need to understand that flood insurance is typically not included in their standard homeowners insurance policy, but there are options available,” said Michelle Tennant, vice president of product management, Erie Insurance. “Even if you don’t live in an area that you think is floodprone, if it rains or snows, it can flood. That’s

why it’s so important to talk to your agent about your home and your neighborhood, to make sure you have the coverage that’s right for you.”

To learn more about flood insurance, contact your agent or visit https://www.erieinsurance. com/flood-insurance.

As flooding becomes more frequent, make sure that you have the insurance you need to protect your home and belongings.

High-impact home improvements to prepare for a clean energy future

(BPT) - The energy supply in the United States is getting cleaner and more renewable every day. Not only is this good for the planet, it’s also good for your wallet. By taking action now you can help prepare for a clean energy future, while enjoying energy savings and a more comfortable home today.

to make necessary purchases more affordable and other market support to make clean energy and efficient electric equipment more available.

The shift to clean energy

States and communities around the country have led the way in implementing policies that support the transition to clean energy. Additionally, forward-thinking electric utilities are increasing their investments in renewables like solar, wind and hydro power.

In fact, renewables are the fastest-growing electricity generation source in the U.S. In just the last 12 years, the share of electricity produced from renewable sources has gone from 11% to 24%, according to the Department of Energy’s Energy Information Agency. At the same time, households around the country are beginning the process of switching from fossil fuels to efficient electric for the equipment in their homes and the cars they drive.

Recent legislation, like the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, is expected to accelerate the transition with billions of dollars in financial incentives designed

According to an analysis by Princeton University, the progress expected over the next eight years will drive down greenhouse gas emissions by about 42%, while also lowering U.S. energy expenditures by at least 4% by 2030. Most experts predict that by as early as 2035, most U.S. energy demand can be supplied by clean energy.

Clean energy at home

Over time, as equipment needs to be replaced, homeowners will switch their gas products for electric options - things like furnaces, water heaters, clothes dryers, stoves and yard equipment. The increase in electricity demand that results from this switch will be offset by innovations in efficiency that are now broadly available for electric alternatives.

Help is available if you want to prepare your home for the clean energy future. The ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade is a set of six energy-efficiency improvements designed to work together to deliver significant energy and cost savings, while supporting the transition from fossil fuels for a cleaner, healthier and more comfortable home.

A key innovation that supports the clean energy movement is highly efficient electric heat pump technology for heating and cooling, water heating and clothes drying. Among the most important upgrades to consider, heat pumps are more efficient than furnaces or boilers and serve doubleduty with heating and cooling, making them usable year-round.

cooling bills when installed over single-pane clear glass windows (without existing storm windows).

Finally, if you don’t already have a smart thermostat, it’s time to make the switch. By upgrading to an affordable ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat, you can reduce your heating and cooling bill by more than 8%.

in mind, you can choose the improvements that make the most sense for your home and implement them as equipment is replaced.

On average, a homeowner can save about $500 a year on utility bills by installing all

When it comes to hot water, an ENERGY STAR certified heat pump water heater can save a household of four approximately $470 per year on its electric bills. Plus, these water heaters are eligible for a $300 federal income tax credit for residential energy efficiency, as well as rebates and incentives from local utilities in many areas.

Another important upgrade for a clean energy future is to avoid leakage of conditioned air from your home, and considering more than 90% of single-family homes in the U.S. are under-insulated, this becomes an important to-do. Consider adding modern insulation, sealing leaks and upgrading windows to save money and prevent energy loss.

Sealing air leaks around your home and adding insulation can help your home be more comfortable and energy efficient, providing up to a 10% savings on your annual energy bills.

Plus, ENERGY STAR certified (low-e) storm windows can save homeowners up to 20% on their annual heating and

You can prepare for these upgrades by making sure your home is electric-ready. Even if you’re not planning on making these upgrades immediately, you can work with your electrician to make sure your electric panel can accommodate any additional electric loads.
