“Lori poured her heart and soul into her work. She’s not only made a significant difference here, but has touched many lives along the way” shared, Sonia Smith. Sonia has accepted the role as Corporate Office Manager, as Lori makes her way to retirement. “I want to know when people become grandparents, and all their events along the way. I will miss you all, and I love all of you…especially this group right here,” pointing to her team of department managers that she has shared decades with. “I plan to keep in touch,” said Lori.

Keep an eye on your fuel level this Spring

February and March just flew by! Unlike most years, the snow is almost gone.  Many of us hope that we can squeeze by on what oil we have left in our tanks. However, April and May in Maine can be unpredictable and last year both months were colder than normal. There will be more than a few days and nights when our furnaces will be running. If you are a Will-Call customer avoiding a runout is as easy as a phone call to your local CN Brown Energy Office to top off your tank.  https://cnbrownenergy.com/

Please take a few minutes to help us keep you warm until summer arrives!

We appreciate your business. Please stay safe and well!
