This last month has gone by so fast it’s hard to believe kids are back in school already. I would like to remind everyone to be especially careful at bus stops. Come to a complete stop when the stop arm comes out, not a rolling stop. The bus drivers have a lot of responsibilities to make sure the littles make it across the road safely. We all need to do our part to help!

I also want to let you know that Mark Wass, a local resident, has taken over delivering appliances. This is great news because it is a big savings to North Itasca Electric. Mark is hard-working and takes pride in what he does. He is also more flexible about when he can deliver, so I think everyone will be very happy. He charges $75 for a delivery and $50 an hour for anything extra. We used to charge $75 as well, so the price is still the same. He also does handyman work so if you are looking for someone to do odd jobs give him a call. Mark can be reached at (218) 341-8434.

Keep in mind we still offer contracts to members who qualify. A contract is when you can put 20% down and then spread your payments out up to 3 years if the monthly payment is over $20.There is 4% interest on a contract. If you don’t want interest added but would like to spread out your payments, you can do 90 days. You still need to put at least 20% down. You would then have 90 days to pay it off.

We also have bundling deals where if you purchase 3 appliances you will get 8% off, 4 appliances 10% off and 5 or more 15% off. The more you buy, the more you save.

Please call or stop in if you have any questions. Call me at (218) 743-3132
