Industry continues efforts toward centennial celebration

The Propane Centennial Committee (PCC) launched a dedicated centennial website at www.propane100.org.

The website includes a unique timeline of the past 100 years of the industry, a photo gallery and an events calendar. All industry members are encouraged to add history, photos and content to make the centennial website a comprehensive history of the industry and people.
