Neighborhood LinkOG&E, in partnership with the nationwide Neighborhood Link community network, has made it possible for every neighborhood and homeowners association in the Oklahoma City metro area to have its own free, interactive Web site.

Each neighborhood's Web site provides its own community calendar, discussion area, newsletter and "Meet Your Neighbors" personal homepages. There are also links to city councils, local police departments, schools, public libraries, city and state agencies, weather, and to OG&E's online outage monitoring - System Watch. Neighborhood Link sites also offer an area where local clubs, non-profits and other organizations can have their own free, interactive Web sites. To participate or activate your own neighborhood or organization's site in metro Oklahoma City, visit: www.neighborhoodlink.com or call Neighborhood Link at 1-888-241-0123.

Gatekeeper ProgramGatekeeper Program
OG&E employees are trained to keep a helpful eye out for our senior citizens - watching for subtle signs of trouble when working in the community or answering questions on the telephone. If a problem is noticed, our employees contact local designated agencies to provide the proper assistance. Some of the things OG&E employees look for include:

Unattended newspapers or mail
A normally well-kept yard left unattended
Noticeable changes in the way a customer behaves or appears
Slurring, disorientation or speech problems over the phone.


Third Party Notification Plan
OG&E's "Third Party Notification" plan allows any residential customer to designate a "third party" (A relative, friend, neighbor, social worker, etc.) to receive a copy of any cut off notices OG&E must send because of nonpayment of electric bills. This plan can provide the customer with peace of mind in the knowledge that there is someone else who will be notified if bill payment problems exist. The third party is not obligated to pay any past-due bills.

Other Programs
In schools across Oklahoma and western Arkansas, OG&E is helping develop young minds through several special programs like the Adopt-A School program. Through Adopt-A-School, OG&E volunteers help grade papers, tutor students and assist school libraries. The program, Choices, encourages students to stay in school by helping them explore their education and career through two days of discussion led by OG&E volunteers.

In addition, OG&E assists in the Junior Achievement program and safety programs.
