 | In an effort to support green energy and help Illinois residents save money on their electric bills, the Midlothian Park District has partnered with Viridian Energy to offer lower electricity supply rates for commercial and residential customers in Illinois. If you have not chosen a third party supplier for your electricity, we invite you to take a look at Viridian Energy and begin saving money on your electric bill today.
Through Viridian, you can save money every month on your electric bill - without paying anything up front. In addition, you will also be helping the environment since Viridian promotes renewable energy through solar and wind farms. Customers can choose Viridian’s Everyday Green which uses 20% renewable energy, or Viridian’s Pure Green which offers 100% renewable energy. They can also choose a variable rate or a fixed rate for the Everyday Green or Pure Green energy.
People who sign up for Viridian through the Midlothian Park District will still receive the same delivery, service and billing from Com Ed that they currently have. What they will see is Viridian’s name in the supply portion of their bill and lower cost than what they were paying Com Ed to supply their electricity. If you choose Viridian as your electric supplier; there is no money down, no hidden fees and no cancellation fee.
Additionally, non-profit entities are invited to register for this program through the Midlothian Park District as a win-win fundraiser for your organization.
"We hope everyone will take a few minutes of investigate this opportunity," said Evelyn Gleason, Executive Director of the Midlothian Park District. "Those who sign up will save money on their electric bill, support 'green' energy and makes a valuable contribution to the park district."
It takes less than five minutes to sign up online at Viridian. You may also call Mike McLaughlin at 773-497-8889 to enroll. Please sign up today! |

During his time on the park board, Chuck has served as Vice President, Secretary, and Chairman of the Maintenance, Safety and Security Committee. During his tenure, Chuck has helped to plan and oversee the redevelopment of all seven parks, program improvements and staff development.
Chuck and his wife Karen have raised their four children in Midlothian. Besides the twenty years of volunteer service on the Park Board, Chuck has volunteered for youth T-Ball, Baseball and Softball.
Congratulations, Chuck and we hope we can count on many more years of service.

Midlothian Park District Board Vice-President Chuck Nielsen announced that Fred Diryawish is the treasure for the month of January. Fred was nominated by Office Manager Debbie Miller and Superintendent of Recreation Jen Yuska for agreeing to cover unscheduled shifts. “Fred is a great worker and is always willing to come in when we are struggling to cover a shift,” said Yuska. “He is a great worker and he makes me laugh,” added Miller.
Fred began working for the Midlothian Park District in July of 2011 as a part of the Governor’s Illinois Youth Recreation Corps Grant. He was hired to be a seasonal maintenance employee. At the end of the summer, the Recreation Department hired him as a Gym Supervisor. Fred lives in Midlothian with his family and is currently a senior at Bremen High School. We really value Fred’s work ethic. He is always willing to work and he does a great job while he is here. What a combination, what a TREASURE! Thanks, Fred!
