Consolidated returns $38,000 to schools through Earning for Learning program
MATTOON – Consolidated Communications continues to support the education of local children
by returning a portion of the company’s long distance and Internet service revenues to schools through the
Earning for Learning (EFL) program.
Recently, more than $38,000 was returned to 36 local school districts
and education foundations participating in the program, representing the company’s second quarter
contribution for 2005.
