                 What's New at Dem Corps

 

Welcome to our Dem Corps website where Democrats are actively building community!  Al Sicard was recently chosen to be the Acting President as well as the Executive Director of Dem Corps.  To learn more about Al click on the Board of Directors tab on your left.  Congratulations to Al, and to Lydia Bloom, who was chosen as our Dem of the Month!  Find out about Lydia by clicking on Dem of the MonthCongratulations are also due for our five Dem Corps scholarship recipients who have just been announced.  Learn more about these fine young women by clicking on the tab for our Scholarship Program. 

 

You can now become a member of Dem Corps!  Pledging to grow our organization by raising $35 or more in donations (this could be a personal contribution from you) makes you a member of Dem Corps. 
Beyond the pride that comes from helping your community, member benefits include an opportunity to purchase home heating oil, propane or K-1 this year at group discounted prices, subject to certain restrictions, limitations, and availability. 
Oil prices are extremely volatile but there is still a Dem Corps discount...Plans are:

1) pre-fixed prepay...pay all at once but get lowest price
2) Combo budget...1/3 down and rest on 10 or 11 equal monthly payments...usually about 5 cents/gal higher than #1
3) Budget...0 down and all on 10-11 equal monthly payments...usually about 15 cents/gal more than #1 but you are using the dealer's money for almost a year (finance charge...if you will)
Also...downside protection can be added to any plan (if you think prices may come down)

Once you join, we will email you the forms and you can call the dealer, identify yourself as a Dem Corps member and ask what the prices are that day with the Dem Corps Discount....then you can fill out your contract and send it in with a check!
Thanks and help spread the word...you are supporting a great non-profit!
NOTE:
DUE TO EXTREME WORLDWIDE OIL MARKET VOLATILITY, PRICES CHANGE WEEKLY, IF NOT DAILY...
MAINE IS A BIG STATE AND NOT ALL TOWNS ARE SERVICED IN OUR FIVE COUNTY AREA. DEALER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE DUE TO GEOGRAPHY, USAGE (400 GALLON MINIMUM) OR CREDIT WORTHINESS (BUDGET PLANS).
...SO WE SUGGEST YOU JOIN ONLINE NOW!  WE WILL EMAIL YOU THE PAPERWORK,

Our CFL Project is well under way!  The aim of the project is to distribute as many compact fluorescent lamps (CFL's) throughout Maine as possible, and doing our small part in the fight against high energy costs, pollution, and global warming.  Did you know that replacing a single traditional bulb with a CFL will keep a half-ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the bulb? 

 

Phase 1 of the CFL Project is distributing CFL's though a special fundraising activity where we will be asking for a $5 donation for a 20 or 25 watt CFL which will save the donor $44 or $75 in energy costs over its lifetime.  With each $5 raised we will replace our stock and purchase three more CFL's to give to low-income families along with energy conservation tips during Phase 2.  To learn how to help with this project or with other activities in your area click on the Volunteer Opportunities tab. 

 

Dem Corps is now offering an internship to a student that shares the values of the Democratic Party and wishes to be a part of a growing organization that returns us to the roots of the party - community service and empowerment. The focus of the internship is adaptable to the student's interest areas and educational requirements. Email Al@DemCorps.org for further information.

 

Join us in building strong, caring communities!  Dem Corps is now part of a coordinated and growing national movement of progressives living our political values through community service. Check out the websites of these other fine groups:
