Vivian Prouty wins Derry Energy logo contest

The recently formed Londonderry Energy Committee announces that Vivian Prouty is the winner of  its design competition to create a logo for the committee.

In April, the LEC solicited Flood Brook Union School students to help create a logo to represent the energy committee. At the May 16 committee meeting, out of several contestants, Vivian Prouty was chosen. On May 25, LEC member Will Reed presented Vivian with a gift card for four at the Bromley Thrill Zone.

The LEC thanks all who submitted work and Flood Brook Union School for helping to organize the contest. The LEC was formed to pursue the goals of:

• Promoting the use of renewable energy generation.
• Increasing energy efficiency throughout the Town of Londonderry.
• Reducing environmental impacts, within Londonderry and beyond, from reliance upon non-renewable sources of energy.
• Reducing the cost of energy to all consumers of energy, in town.
