Hi everyone, I already emailed this to most of the EV experts/enthusiasts I know of in Central Florida, many of whom are not on our FLEAA discussion list (hence my direct email approach), but in case I forgot any of you in Central Florida who *are* on the FLEAA discussion list (no slight intended), please see my email below.

For full details, please see my email correspondence below with Carla Laube of the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Organization in Lakeland, who is organizing a panel discussion on the Future of America in Fuel Alternatives as part of a seminar for high school sophomores that will be held at the Haines City Leadership Center from April 24 to 27. Your participation would only be needed for about 2 hours on one of those days, subject to finalization of the schedule for the seminar. There may still be some flexibility on the schedule, so if any of you are interested in being an EV expert speaker on the Fuel Alternatives panel discussion at this seminar, please contact Carla Laube directly on her cell phone at 863-602-7700 or her email address at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks & best regards, Charles Whalen Florida Electric Auto Association (www.floridaeaa.org) Delray Beach, FL [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: CLaube1014 To: Charles Whalen Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 7:54 PM Subject: Re: HOBY...I got your contact information from Alan Shedd Mr. Whalen Thank you for getting back to me. I am in Lakeland but the seminar will be held in Haines City at the Leadership Center located there. That is very close to Lakeland so that would present a problem still. I would greatly appreciate any help that you can provide to find some good replacements. I will email you tomorrow and let you know which date for sure and the time of the panel so that perhaps someone you know would have more concrete information to go by. The chairperson of the seminar is finishing up the schedule and I will be able to get more information tomorrow. Thank you again for your consideration and if anyone you know would be interested please pass on my contact information.

Thanks to him for the referral. My apologies for the delay in responding to your email. I just returned from a week of meetings in Tallahassee, where I didn't have any access to email, so I'm just now starting to catch up on a week's worth of emails. First, thank you very much for the invitation to participate in your Future of America in Fuel Alternatives program and panel discussion on April 24-27! I'm not sure where you're located, but I just did a reverse lookup on your area code and exchange of your cell phone number, and it looks like you're in Lakeland, so I'm assuming that that is where your program will be held. I myself am located in Delray Beach, halfway between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. I would love to participate in your panel discussion on one of those days, during April 24-27, but I have a busy schedule that week with a number of engagements that I have already committed to. On Wednesday April 23, I am going to be exhibiting at MAST Academy's 12th Annual Solar Celebration in Miami. Then on Saturday April 26, I will be exhibiting at the 10th Annual Fort Pierce EV Rally in Fort Pierce. So the logistics of getting to Lakeland on one of those days for your event during April 24-27 would be somewhat difficult and tight for me, but I could possibly consider it. The only possibilities for me to do so would be either Friday April 25 or Sunday April 27. Alternatively, I could also send this out to all of our Florida Electric Auto Association members on our discussion list to see if anyone closer to Lakeland could make it there for your event. In any case, if you let me know the schedule for your event as you firm it up, I will see what I can do and try my best to get there for your program. You can contact me as per below.

I got your contact information from Alan Shedd. He said that he worked with you through the Florida Chapter of the Electric Auto Association. I am trying to coordinate a panel discussion on the Future of America in Fuel Alternatives during the seminar which is going to be held April 24-27. Basically that panel this year is going to be made up of tinkerers, business people and EV enthusiasts. You would be paired up with 2-3 other people to answer questions posed by these sophmores. I only have an email address for you and would love to give you additional information or answer any questions. WE would love to have you on board to participate with us this year. It would only be for about 2 hours on one of the days (predetermined when the schedule is finalized). If you are interested please give me a call some time at your convenience or you may correspond via e-mail which ever is more convenient for you. My cellnumber is 863-602-7700 if I don't answer please leave a message I will get back with you. My email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing from you soon.
