Message # 2
A meeting NEXT TUESDAY is not about general solar info but a planning session to discuss specific actions, educational efforts and plans:
MESSAGE FROM FRANK VIGNOLA:
Dear Solar Enthusiasts,
Roger Ebbage and Erik Westerholm have arranged a place for the next group meeting on March 27, 2007 at 7:00 pm at
Lane Community College, Building 16, Room 211.
The goal of the meeting will be to move the solar agenda forward in Eugene.
The main purpose of this meeting is to see what the group would like to do for the solar agenda and how this group
should go about trying to accomplish its aims.
Is there a program such as community solar that the group would like to push? Is education a goal of the group?
Should the group put on a lecture series on
solar technologies and ways to finance solar projects?
How should the group work together to achieve its
goals? Bring your ideas on barriers and solutions.
Think about your areas of expertise and what time and effort you would be willing to commit. I think by acting together we can make a solid contribution.
Please RSVP to so that they will have an idea of how many people will show up and if we need a larger space.
Erik Westerholm
