Hi all, The Upcoming Events & Meetings list gets larger and larger ... and harder and harder to keep up with, especially with all the new chapters and EV activities now all over the state! ... Which is a *good* problem to have! ... Also known as "SUCCESS"! EVs and the public's interest in them are clearly catching on and gaining tremendous momentum here in Florida! The expansion of our membership and chapters is exploding with exponential growth.
Please let me know of any mistakes, errors, edits, additions, etc., to the event & meeting list below, and I'll send out any correction, if necessary. Lots of great activities to choose from all over the state!

Larry Wexler and Steve Clunn will both be there with their EVs and have each paid the exhibitors fees. If you want to bring your EV and are not promoting a conversion business or any other EV business, either for yourself or anyone else, you might be able to get the exhibitor's fee waived, according to the event organizer, Alicia Page. But if you are engaged in any type of EV related business or are going to direct people to others where they can purchase such an EV, components, or have a conversion done, etc., then according to Alicia you will have to pay the exhibitor's fee. Contact Alicia for more information.
