Smart Energy Council to Network Huntsville-area Utility Assistance Programs, Create Long-term Solutions
Daniel Dean works on installing weather proofing during the 2009 Serving the City as One. More than 2,000 Christians fan out across Huntsville in April each year to participate in service projects city-wide.
