Holiday Electrical SafetyIts that time of year when the holiday lights are being hung inside and out,

extension cords are over used, and power strips are ready to pop and burn from being overloaded.

Do not overload a power strip, they are for Electronics only

.

Outlet overloadingUtilize heavy duty extension cords instead of lightweight

Indoor cords for holiday lights.

Holiday Electrical Safety

Place space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn - including furniture, people, pets and window

treatments. Never plug space heaters into a power strip.

Turn off space heaters before leaving a room or going to sleep.

Oil Filled Heater

November Events

Adopt-A-Lounge

Did you know that you could earn as much as $750 for your booster club/organization/FRG by helping out the

ASYMCA? All you have to do is Adopt-the-Lounge by providing volunteers to staff the ASYMCA's Military

Courtesy Lounge at the Fairbanks International Airport for one month. (And NO, it's NOT the USO!) Help spread

some smiles or even some holiday cheer by ensuring that the Lounge is open -- providing military travelers and their families a safe, comfortable place to wait for their flights

during the month your group signs up for! We are already looking for groups to sign up during the 2013 calendar year! For more info, or to sign up, contact the ASYMCA

office at 353-5962 or at Fairbanks@akasymca.org.
