| Still Weatherizing Homes One hundred fifty-six homes in Adair, Sequoyah and Cherokee Counties are more energy efficient thanks to the Weatherization Crew of Cookson Hills Community Action and the Stimulus Package. The Department of Energy has ear-marked $1,121,659 so far for weatherization projects in our counties. This dollar amount is expected to rise to $2,243,318 before the contract is complete. Cookson Hills Community Action has added five two-man crews to help meet its aggressive schedule. Our weatherization program is free to the public. It's your tax dollars – use it now when you need it! |

Weatherization Director Bill Poindexter and the Steeldust
band were the entertainment for our annual agency
picnic/training event early this spring. Bill and his brothers
Donnie and Jim along with his nephew Donnie Alan make up
the Steeldust band. They sing cowboy songs like "Ghost
Riders in the Sky" and "Old Mexico" while playing their guitars.
Though it was a rainy day, the picnic was still well attended
by our Foster Grandparents and employees Lake Tenkiller
was the setting for the picnic.. Most of the games were
cancelled due to the rain but we still had a good time visiting
with each other and eating hotdogs and hamburgers.
Training during the day included games in communication
skills. Several doors prizes were awarded to those with the
right ticket number.
