Today: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 Corporate
Citizenship Survey Distributed This Week In an effort to strengthen and enhance TVAs corporate-citizenship efforts, Communications & Government Relations will survey employees about their volunteer service and other initiatives that improve quality of life in the Valley communities. The survey, which will take about 10 minutes to complete, will go out this week. It should be returned by Friday, Oct. 3. Through its Speakers Bureau, Corporate Contributions, the Team TVA employee-volunteer program and other special efforts by the organizations, TVA supports communities and employees by contributing cash, materials, equipment and in-kind services throughout the Valley. TVA wants to recognize employees for their volunteer contributions to their communities, whether its for time worked personally or on behalf of TVA, as well as help interested employees become involved in a professional and/or community organization. C&GR wants to learn which organizations employees are involved in and about others TVA should consider supporting. For this reason, employees will be asked to identify themselves on the survey. Employees can e-mail the Corporate Citizenship mailbox with any questions they may have after receiving the survey.

To Hold Open House on Proposed Power Supply Upgrades The open house will be from 3-7 p.m. at the Calvary Baptist Church, 219 County Rd. 890, in Etowah. As part of the power-supply upgrades, TVA plans to build about 13 miles of new transmission line. A large part of the construction is planned along the same path of an 86-year-old transmission line. A new TVA substation northeast of Benton, Tenn., also is planned. To ensure reliability of the power system in the Etowah area, the new line and substation would need to be in service by June 2006. At the open house, TVA staff members will be available to discuss the route for the power line and location of a new substation. Those attending the open house will be able to examine maps and provide comments on the proposed project. Property owners whose land may be affected by the project are being notified of the open house by mail. For additional information about this project, contact Allen Miller, TVA, 1101 Market St., MR 4G, Chattanooga, TN 37402-2801, call him toll-free at 800-362-4355 or visit TVAs website at www.tvainfo@tva.com.

Can Join TVA To Lend A Hand To Americas Lands The event encourages citizens to volunteer their time and effort on projects such as stream-bank restoration, trail-building, exotic-plant removal, litter pickup, tree-planting and wildlife-habitat improvements. This years theme is Lend A Hand To Americas Lands. During last years event, TVA Watershed Teams and volunteers contributed about 2,867 hours toward enhancing TVA public land. This year, at least 80,000 volunteers are expected at 500 sites across the nation, making the event the largest annual single-day volunteer restoration effort for public lands.
