Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Propane Gas Association today announced that a suite of 16 electronic consumer safety modules are now operational.

Pennsylvania families and businesses may access these features by logging on to www.papropane.com. The information is available in English and Spanish. Each module requires less than 10 minutes to complete.

“We are constantly striving to provide the highest level of industry training to our technicians that enhance customer service,” said Jeffrey Shaffer, President of PAPGA. “These modules are fun for families and really help people understand how to use propane for their home or business.”

The safety modules feature attractive animation, mouse-over activated graphics, photos and descriptive narrative. There are 16 features in all, covering safety techniques for homes, businesses and outdoor living in all four seasons.

At the conclusion of each feature, there is a short quiz to help consumers gauge how much they have learned. There are also multiple links to other relevant information from propane industry websites.

The Pennsylvania Propane Gas Association is a member-focused trade association providing services that communicate, educate and promote the propane industry in Pennsylvania. The association was formed in 1947 to offer opportunities to learn through training and networking with peers, and to aid with legislative issues that contribute to operating a safe and successful industry.

Harrisburg, PA – PAPGA has announced that the Koppy’s Propane Pink ‘Breast Cancer Awareness’ Delivery Truck will be appearing in Harrisburg in conjunction with the association’s 2009 Fall Meeting.
 
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an initiative that began in 1985 by major charities to promote early detection via mammogram. PAPGA will also be passing out pink notepads and pens to membership and visitors during the fall meeting in recognition of this important message.

In 2008, Kara Tucker was diagnosed with breast cancer. Ms. Tucker is the daughter of David Koppenhaver, owner of Koppy’s Propane in Williamstown, PA. Mr. Koppenhaver will be available on September 29th to talk about his company’s commitment to helping find a cure for breast cancer.  Kara is married to Ross Tucker, who played college football at Princeton and seven seasons in the NFL with Washington, Dallas, Buffalo, New England and Cleveland.

“Studies show that early detection is key to surviving breast cancer,” said Shelby Metzger, Executive Director of PAPGA. “Our members fully support increasing awareness and encouraging women to schedule annual mammograms.”
