RIALTO, Calif., April 24, 2009 ?Southern California Edison (SCE) partnered with New America Media to host a briefing with a diverse group of ethnic media outlets in San Bernardino to engage media on the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) program and other customer assistance programs.

SCE is committed to reaching all eligible customers to enroll in CARE and we are conducting outreach through ethnic media, social service agencies, community-based and faith-based organizations,? said Jack Parkhill, SCE?s income qualified programs manager.
?We offer solutions and programs for our customers to start saving money on their electric bills right away,? said Linda Yamauchi, SCE?s consumer affairs manager. ?We want our customers to know that they should contact us as soon as they know they may have a problem paying their bill and we will work with them.?
