-STEP IT UP - National Action Rally for Global Warming.  BOY what a day.  I brought our SEVA Banner, Dan Davids brought his beautiful Rav4-EV and then the rain came.  I ran my 12V service Bat down in my Insight, and couldn’t even role up my pwer windows.  But HAY  the Sun came back out as the 1500 PLUS parade of Global Warming Warriors marched in from down town, along with Mayor Nichols, Ron Sims, and Congressman Jay Inslee.  Dan David’s got to be chauffeur for the politico’s  They all made eloquent speeches on behalf of Global Warming Legislation.

 Then it was time for me to beat-feet to a neighborhood church where we aired yet another free showing of “Who Killed the Electric Car” to a packed house.  But WAIT  How do you start a dead Insight with no jumper cables, no battery.  You find two short scraps of 12 gauge house wiring, borrow a battery from one of the Solar Power booths, and three volunteers.  One to hold the wires against the boost battery, One to hold the other ends on the Insight battery, and One to HIT the IGNITION SWITCH, and  in 10 micro-seconds all is well again…

+April 10th SEVA Meeting – And Other Wonderful EVents
-This is to announce that the April 10th SEVA Meeting will be
-held at a New Location.  One Block North, and One Block West
+Sorry this REPORT is tardy…  But it has been a busy EV week.
-of Chuck's house At the '''Mosaic Community Coffee House'''.  44th St. and 2nd Ave.
-People who need to Charge, could plug-In at Chucks, and walk round the block to the Coffee House.
+First must report on our NEW meeting place. The Mosaic Community Coffee House.  It is in the basement of the Discovery House on the corner of 2nd Ave and 44th Street.  Just 2 blocks from Chuck’s house
-Check it out at: http://www.mosaiccoffeehouse.org/directions.html
-Chuck, Dave B. and I have all checked it out, and it looks Good.
+We easily held a whopping 47 participants Tuesday evening.  And the coffee isn’t bad either. I'd guess that about 20% were New and Nearly New Members !!  Our only cost is the management’s encouragement for guests to buy coffee and things from their shop.
-Lots of Off Street Parking in the North Lot of Discovery House.
-(Which is right in back of the Burger Place. Dave...)
+Most of the meeting was taken up with brief introductions of all 47 guests and members.
-The Cost is Free for folks like US, but they do ask us to visit their
-coffee house counter, and buy something (optional)  The prices are also
+Highlights included a run down of Events over the next 6 weeks from Steve.  Dave Cloud reported on his success with his Hybrid-Light Geo Metro, turning 47 mpg into 63+ with just 4 batteries and manual controls on EV Boost.  Dave also brought a new 3 wheel electric assisted trike, for every one to test out.  Dan Davids brought his new EV Parking/Charging signs he had made up, and sold a hand full right on the spot!  They are $20. each ( at COST)  He also brought in a fresh copy of Mechanics Illustrated which has a very comprehensive article on EVs and PHEVs   New member, with a 3 wheel ZAP Chinese electric ( his name slips me ) reported on his problem starting UP on a hill, for the breaks and the parking breaks override the throttle, so there is quite a bit of role back, before the controller and motor kicks in..  Stephen Johnson and Paul Peavyhouse reported on EV Parking and Charging work they are doing.
-Optional.. more like a reasonable Donation..  That may be a little
-confusing.  I donated a few bucks for coffee and a beagle.
+I know I must be forgetting a lot.  But  HAY !  Others can chime in with their favorite SEVA Meeting Story at Any Time…  with my blessings.
-See You All There...  For those not on the web or receiving E-mail from SEVA,  Chuck will have a sign, and directions up on his house.
