Hello Everyone,
Friday at the Miami City Hall was a successful event with lots of enthusiastic people in attendance. People lined up for a "ride and drive", and afterwards a showing of "Who Killed the Electric Car". Chelsea was there of course, along with an enthusiastic elected official. We need more support from everyone, including all levels of government. I think it usually starts with the voters and the local government and works its way up from there. Saturday at the Fairchild Tropical Garden was an elaborate event with contests for school children, EV displays and rides, and a question and answer session. This was a particularly pleasing and enjoyable venue. There was a video crew there as well, and lots of pictures and video taken by individuals. There were a number of members and EV enthusiasts in attendance Friday and Saturday. Joseph was there both days and got his picture taken with Chelsea. Is there anyone who doesn't know Joseph? He's one of the biggest EV enthusiasts; even has a Tesla key fob :-) Paul Renneisen and David Turock were there as well with David's wrapped RAV4-EV and so were Shawn Waggoner and Cliff Rassweiler with his EV race car. While many people contributed to the entire event, Charles Whalen took on the biggest responsibility of organizing the two day event and had his RAV4-EVs there. One of our members from the area, Allan Miller had his converted VW there and helped as well with logistics and a charge for my eBox. Happiness is a 50 amp outlet :-) Best Regards, R.
