Good morning, Neighbor.
I hope you’re staying warm and safe in the midst of the winter weather hitting our district today. However you’re spending this snowy day, I want to take a moment to make you aware of a virtual event taking place later this week.
You may remember when I partnered with DTE back in November for a Customer Assistance Day that offered support to residents of District 9. Once again, I am joining DTE Energy and Wayne Metro to host another Customer Assistance Day this Friday, Feb. 4, which will provide case management solutions, energy efficiency education and utility payment assistance to customers in need.
Please see the information below for more details on how to access this important and useful event.
In Service,
