2010 co-chairs for Relay for Life of Campbell County were PCUD employees Maria Hooks and Robin Proffitt.  The event took place at Campbell County High School on May 1st and was a big success.  Maria and Robin are thankful for all the employees, teams, sponsors, survivors and committee members that made this year's event so special.  The local Girl Scouts were also a big help by providing brunch for the cancer survivors. 

PCUD team leaders Tammy Wilson and Donna Robinson along with many employees didn't let a little rain get them down on event day and spent most of the day grilling and serving hotdogs, cookies and sweet tea.  PCUD’s theme was "Kiss Cancer Goodbye". Energy man even made an appearance passing out Hershey Kisses at the big event.

PCUD employees also spent many personal hours prior to the event raising funds for Relay.  Employees worked diligently publishing their first cookbook which is packed full of delicious recipes and available at our office in Lake City and LaFollette for $10 with all proceeds going to Relay.  PCUD employees should be commended for their teamwork. As of May 6, they have raised over $5,500 in the fight against cancer.

January 13, 2010 - THANK YOU

This past weekend, January 9-10, Powell-Clinch Utility District responded to a call in the City of LaFollette that shut down service on several streets for repair. Powell-Clinch regrets customers were without gas for a period of time to correct a situation that was out of our control. We would like to thank the customers for their understanding during this repair. In addition we would like to personally thank many people for their cooperation, help and support with our emergency situation in freezing conditions. With temperatures dipping to 17 degrees, the teamwork and support of the community was overwhelming.

First of all we would like to thank Mayor Mike Stanfield who not only arrived at the scene to help, but stayed until the job was completed. His dedication to help Powell-Clinch was immeasurable. Jay Muncy, Director of the Campbell County Emergency Management Agency, and his team so kindly provided shelter for our employees for warmth when possible during the repairs. Special thanks to Mark Hoskins who personally delivered food and warm drinks to our employees on the jobsite. The City of LaFollette police and fire department performed an excellent job of controlling the work area. LaFollette Utilities was very helpful by turning off/on the electricity when needed. LaFollette Recreation Center so kindly opened their doors to residents without heat.

Words cannot describe our gratitude to so many people that came together as a team and showed us how special Campbell County and the City of LaFollette truly are.

Sincerely,

Del Roberts
President
Powell-Clinch Utility District
