Hi Everyone, This past weekend the FLEAA participated in the FL Keys GLEE (Green Living and Energy Expo - www.keysglee.com) and had 3 of our vehicles on display. Charles Whalen had one his RAV4 EV's, Cliff and Marilyn Rassweiler of ProEV had their hot Electric Imp and Matt Graham and I had SEVO's new Plug-in Prius (still in the works) all on display. The turn-out was great and we talked to lots of people. The overall response to our cars and efforts was fantastic. There were lots of displays and vendors there with everything from solar water and electric to recycling to organic food vendors. We passed out lots of flyers about EV's, "Who Killed the Electric Car?" and copies of 'Current Events' - the EAA newsletter.
We also got to meet Bill Moore, editor of EV World. He came by with a local reporter to interview all of our car owners and help try to get our club some good local exposure in the media. Cliff made the cover page of the story on the EV World write-up for the GLEE event: http://evworld.com/article.cfm?storyid=1219 But with such a great shirt like Cliff was sporting, how could he help but NOT put him in there! ProEV has just offered their new shirts for sale on their website: http://proev.com/S3Gear.htm The Keys was a great place to have the cars, the weather was beautiful, the road speeds are only 45MPH and no one is in a rush! I hope we can see more EV's on the road down there, if ever a place was meant to have EV's, it's the Keys! I want to thank all of our members who came out to the event for supporting the effort. It really was a good time and great event. Thanks, Shawn Waggoner Florida EAA www.floridaeaa.org PS - Pictures of the event will be up in the photo gallery in the next few days, so please keep checking it. -S _______________________________________________ FLEAA Mailing List [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org
