		+	REMINDER TO CAFFEINATE: Members in attendance, please do patronize the coffee shop downstairs. It is a non-profit, pay-as-you-will establishment, and it is through their generosity that we have a place to meet. Please visit them often.
		+
		+	WELCOME DAVE LANGDON: Mr. Langdon was here to address the membership about advanced metering. Advanced metering will, among other things, improve accuracy, provide consumer controls over electrical use, reduce manpower on billing and improve timeliness. As heard on the radio today, there are concerns about privacy and the types of radio communication to be used. There will be many public meetings where your thoughts can be aired. Check out ( www.seattle.gov/light6/ami )

		+	MONTH IN REVIEW – Maple Leaf Social was attended by approximately 400-500 people. The automatic sprinkler system helped liven things up. Nine vehicles were present for the parade at the Redmond Derby Days. The Sultan Shindig was hot, but with hot cars and hot crowds! SEVA was at this event in force with their electric cars. The “de-icing” bill is now law, and SEVA has been getting inquiries about what to do and what not to do to be compliant with the law. Jeff Finn has posted some unofficial guidelines on our website.
		+
		+	WELCOME NEW FACES. Seven people came to tonight’s meeting to join us for the first time. Welcome all!
		+	SCIENCE CAFÉ – You can look up the video presentation on KCTS website. The WEB SITE is: ( http://kcts9.org/education/science-cafe/electric-vehicles ) As we watched it last night over the WEB, I was pleased with the length and breadth of what we have been witnessed over the last 30 years.
		+
		+	LICENSE PLATE FRAMES! We received over 60 e-mail comments and suggestions following the work of our new member Kerry Wilkinson and the (semi) official SEVA Lic. Plate Frames. Given the positive response of the original lay out, we will be giving Kerry the Go-Ahead for a small initial run with the design that the Board worked out. They should be ready for Sale by the September meeting.EAA – Please join our national organization! The fantastic newsletter is one of many benefits.

On Saturday August 24th there will be much “Bracket Racing” and electric cars are very well suited for this, that each and every RUN can be very much the same TIME. Car coming closest to his elapsed time each run, is the WINNER.
