What is a Reality Day?
It is a fun, interactive “financial literacy” simulation for all high school sophomores to learn the “realities” of life after high school or college.

360 Energy Management in Today's Market


We have assembled a tremendous panel of guests who will provide details on how to help business, large or small, reduce overall electricity and natural gas expenses.  The list of distinguished guests is growing.  We are seeing finance people, facilities managers, business owners and operations managers registering for this event.  There will be details and panelists that will cover all aspects of energy saving opportunities.
Please plan to join us for the afternoon.  Spend a few hours understanding your options on energy spend mitigation, then help us support the Rend Lake College Culinary Arts students as they show off their talents immediately following the forum.
