On the 3^rd Friday of each month, we will meet at a local establishment for lunch and listen as one of our dynamic speakers delivers a power-packed message focusing on insights, best kept secrets, best practices, and anything and everything she knows that she feels we ought to know.

“Access to local emergency services and community resources is vital to
our low-income families and elderly residents. HTC knows that staying
connected to local resources and emergency services can improve and
possibly save lives,” said Jamie Colway, HTC Marketing Supervisor.
“Unfortunately, some do not have access to basic home phone and wireless
service because of affordability, but with Lifeline and Link-Up, there
is help.”

Under the Lifeline program, telephone customers who participate in
certain public assistance programs are eligible to receive a basic
telephone service discount of $13.50 per month and $8.25 on the monthly
bill for wireless service. Link-Up provides a 50 percent reduction in
the telephone service installation charge, up to a maximum of $30, for
qualifying households that do not currently have telephone service. On
wireless accounts, the Link-Up credit is $18.00 for a free-standing
account and $9.00 for the master line of a FamilyTalk account.
Residents may qualify for South Carolina’s Lifeline and Link-Up programs
if they receive benefits such as Food Stamps, Medicaid, or other similar
programs.
