We are celebrating throughout March by highlighting some of our remarkable members who strive to make a difference in the propane industry every day!

Meet Kathy Hershey - Jackson! Kathy is the Pennsylvania Ambassador for Women in Propane and is the Safety Director for Rhoads Energy Corporation.

When asked what her advice would be to someone starting in the industry, she said, "Ask questions! Just because it is not in your immediate "job description" doesn't mean you can't ask and understand how all the pieces of the industry work. The more diverse your knowledge, the more you add value to yourself as an employee."

If your home requires the propane delivery driver to park in your driveway to fill your tank, please keep it free of snow and ice and be sure to have a clear path to your tank. This will allow the driver to navigate safely to complete your service needs.

Tailgaters stake their claim hours and even days before the game. They share their favorite creations to cheers and high-fives long before the action on the field kicks off.

As students, parents and teachers are all starting another school year, it is a good time to remember to keep an eye out for students walking to and from school and students getting on and off school buses.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the school bus is one of the safest vehicles on the road; however, the risk is greatest when children are approaching or leaving a school bus.

Keep in mind these simple rules:
• Yellow flashing lights on a school bus mean slow down because the bus is preparing to stop.
• Red flashing lights mean stop. Students are getting on or off the school bus. Stay stopped until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving.
• Be ready to stop for a school bus as they make frequent stops.
• Watch and stop for children who cross in front of the bus when the bus is stopped.
• Be prepared for school buses stopping at all railroad crossings.
