Boulevard Speed Limit is 25 mph. The Energy Corner When you drive 25 mph, everybody else does too! Retention Oil Burners Every non-fl ame retention burner, and most pre-1985 fi rst generation fl ame retention burn- ers, should be replaced. Boilers or furnaces installed after 1980 will run much better with a new burner.

If a new boiler or furnace was installed before 1970, it is better to replace the system than just put in a new burner. New burners with their white-hot fl ame may “kill” the old unit quicker.

Replacing an old ineffi cient boiler or furnace is one of the best investments you can make. It will pay for itself in a few years and will continue providing savings for years to come. Call for a FREE analysis of your heating system. See if upgrading your equipment is right for you. There is no cost or obligation.

Mr. Dikran Youmshakian, Field Director of the AMAA, the Armenian Missionary Association of America. Mr. Youmshakian spoke about Child Sponsorship. The motto of the Kiwanis is “Serving the Children of the World” and one of the main projects of the AMAA is supporting children of Armenia and the Middle East. There are thousands of homeless children who desperately need help. The cost for sponsoring a child is $250.00 for 1 year which would supply: food, clothing, medical needs and school supplies.
