Your
Generosity Continues Through Round-Up
Operation
Round Up is standing the test of time.
The
program, now eight years old, continues to grow and do its good
work. And it all happens 50 cents at a time from caring Walton EMC
customer-owners.
It's
easy to join in. Just initial the space on your next bill stub and
we'll round your future electric bills to the next dollar. Your
small change will make a big impact in the lives of your neighbors
in need.
