Dear Charles Villager,

The CV “Light Up The Night“ program would be DE-LIGHTED to provide you with 
two FREE CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) BULBS to use on your front and rear 
porch. The BULBS are being offered WITHOUT CHARGE to all homes in the Charles 
Village Community. We will even install the BULBS for you! This is a great way 
to keep our neighborhood safer and friendlier and the price is right! The only 
way it could be better is if you also got cash to take them! Forget that!

The CFL Bulbs use one-fourth of the energy of a standard incandescent BULB of 
the same wattage. That means you can light it twice as long and still use only 
half as much electricity as a regular incandescent light BULB. You will also 
find yourself climbing the ladder much less often to replace your porch BULB. 
These BULBS generally last up to thirteen time longer than an equivalent 
incandescent light BULBS!

By saving you both money and ladder time, we hope this BULB will encourage you 
to KEEP YOUR PORCH LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT! By just flicking on your light switch 
at night, you can help keep Charles Village safer. The better lighted our 
neighborhood streets are the fewer shadowy places for “the forces of darkness” 
to hide.

We do it all! The only thing we can’t do is come over every night and turn 
them on for you! The only things you have to do are sign up for your BULBS, 
and then TURN THEM ON AFTER DARK.

It’s that simple!

If you’d like to be more involved in this project, we could sure use you as a 
volunteer to distribute BULBS. We would appreciate it very, very much if you 
would spread the world to neighbors on your block who haven’t gotten the word 
about this program yet. Perhaps you could organize your entire block, or part 
of your block, or perhaps a group of your immediate neighbors.

Then call us with your list of those who would like the FREE BULBS.

Contact us to sign up for your FREE BULBS or with any questions about this 
program.

Either “reply” directly to this email notice or call:

If necessary leave a phone message.

Let us know the:

Name(s), Address(es), Phone Number(s), One or two BULBS desired?
