	ELECTIONS – Steve Lough led the final call for nominations. Nominations were closed. Our Board of Director nominees were, Kevin Boze, Recording Secretary; Mark Yormark, Treasurer; Mark Schiller, Vice President; and Stephen Johnsen, President. All in favor were asked to signify with a verbal YA, and the vote was unanimous. Steven shook the hands of Stephen, Mark, Mark, and Kevin, and the torch was passed on to the New Board, without bloodshed. CHEERS! To further honor and recognize our outgoing President, Steve Lough, was presented with a commemorative marine-style stein in recognition for his service. As the formal meeting broke up into general discussions, folks congratulated both the new board, and our outgoing President Steve. No tears were shed, but many hand shakes and hugs.

		+	PS: I did forget one thing, between Kevin's notes and some of my thoughts. The very democratic choosing of a new proper logo for the new Web Site Designs. The work our SEVA folks, Grace, Mark S. and others have put in on this endeavor, but especially the students up at Central Seattle Community College are not to go on without recognition.
		+	They put together SIX choices for a new logo. Unfortunately none were quite as compelling as our tried and true LOGO of the EAA Electric Car, with our name below that and our Web Address... More or less like the logo on our T-Shirts and Name tags, Which once voted on ..won the day..

	DRAWING – Congratulations to the winner of our monthly drawing. Our outgoing SEVA Treasurer, Chuck Benson. Also the association raffled off a turkey in keeping with the spirit of the season. A great 10 lb bird was given to the winner.		DRAWING – Congratulations to the winner of our monthly drawing. Our outgoing SEVA Treasurer, Chuck Benson.

Sandra talked about the steps the city has been taking to get Seattle “plug-in ready” and the work the city has done to organize and implement an EV-friendly environment. Among the tidbits: Seattle has determined an EV in the city motor pool pays for itself in half the time it takes a hybrid vehicle.
		+
		+	SCIENCE – Jeff also took the floor to talk about the scientific advances that are being made in the pursuit of zero emission energies, as well as the pricing and incentives that are being provided for vehicle charging systems by NISSAN. Members were encouraged to become involved. If you have a location or business which could install a L-3 system, Nissan could pass along a grant up to $10,000 to off set the cost.
