We’ll help you make that wish come true.
Choctaw Electric Cooperative’s appliance loan program can help you afford a new energy efficient appliance for your home. Under the appliance loan program, CEC will loan up to $2,500 on qualifying Energy Star appliances including:
• clothes washers • dryers • refrigerator/freezers • dishwashers • water heaters • window air conditioners • cooktops • stoves and ovens • microwave ovens
To qualify for an appliance loan, you must be at least a one-year member of Choctaw Electric Cooperative with a B credit rating or higher.
The appliance loan program is not
to be confused with CEC’s energy resource loans, which typically cover purchases such as storm windows and doors, insulation, roofing and other structural improvements.
Loan applications are found online at
www.choctawelectric.coop, or call 800-780-6486 for more details.
Taking place at Choctaw Electric in Hugo on December 18, and at Choctaw Electric in Idabel on December 20, Tinsel and Tots will provide an adult-supervised afternoon of fun games and holiday crafts for kids age 5 to 8. The service is free of charge. Enrollment is limited to 15.
“We want our member to enjoy some brief hours of peace to do what they need to do to prepare for Christmas,” said Jia Johnson, CEC member services director.
Two ways to ‘green’ your gift list

Here are two ways to “green” your holiday gift list:
1. Buy electronic products that come with the Energy Star label. The label means they are more energy-efficient than typical models. Replacing an inefficient old gadget with an energy-saving alternative can save more than 25 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions— and save your pals some money on their electric bills.
2. Another label—the Design for the En- vironment label—will help you choose gifts that are safer both for the recipient and the environment. Products sporting the DfE label are made with fewer harm- ful chemicals. In fact, consumers who chose DfE-labeled products last year cut the use of those chemicals by more than 750 million pounds.

This holiday season, consider giving those in need the gift of your time. Check on your aging friends and neighbors regularly. Offer to drive them to the grocery store or help them with tasks around the house. Be sure to take action if you haven't seen them in awhile, or if you notice mail or newspapers piling up. Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated more than any store-bought gift.
