“If the whole world followed you, would you be pleased with where you took it?”

— Neale Donald Walsch

I believe the following businesses in the Crescenta Valley are pleased with where they are taking the world.

Phat Energy wants you to be their partner in the quest to help make solar the most prevalent form of distributed energy generation in Southern California and beyond. They sell products which either generate grid-tied energy, or generate energy for an application specific product, like solar attic fans. They are also among the few companies in the state to have in-house specialists in solar water heating, both for residential and commercial water usage, and for pools.

If you are curious about solar energy options, they have answers for you. You can contact them at (818) 249-7428 or visit them at 2715 Foothill, La Crescenta, www.PhatEnergy.com.

Southern California Presbyterian Homes is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing quality housing, health and support services for more than 5,200 older adults of all faiths. Since its founding in 1955, SCPH has developed a broad range of program and services which include retirement living, assisted living and skilled nursing care provided through six communities; one locally is Windsor Manor in Glendale. Windsor Manor is a highly esteemed and desirable residence, held in great affection in its quiet, mature neighborhood. Come visit Windsor Manor and you will experience the kindness and openhearted friendliness among residents and caregivers. If you have questions, you can contact Kelly Finney at (818) 638-4562.
