2005, Aug 21, Sunday, Build Party at FT's

Don 'Father Time' Crabtree had a build party for the Recliner races. Food was very abundant, but SEVA folks were not. ( unfortunately ) There was Father Time, Steve Lough , Ryan Fulcher, and Dave Barden. Enough folks to get some quality EV Building going, but not enough to eat all the chicken, baked beans, potato salad, brownies, etc. Below are some pictures of the Progress:

Thanks to everyone who participated in Seattle Parks and Recreation's April Alternatively Fueled Vehicle Rally!

October 22nd from 9:30 am-2 pm, Seattle Parks is again hosting an Alternatively Fueled Vehicle Rally, this time, at Greenlake. We'll be using the small lot near the boat house on the South Side of the lake. There is somewhat limited parking there, so registration for the even will be important. Please take a minute to send us the following information via an email to Discovery Park staffers Eileen Justice (eileen.justice@seattle.gov and discover@seattle.gov) so that they can register you for the event.

As in years past, you are welcome to bring your vehicle but cannot sell anything on-site or test drive the vehicle. You're welcome to bring literature with you and to start vehicles to demonstrate. Please email us if you have questions.

INFO WE NEED:

• Name
• Name of Company
• Phone #
• email address
• # of vehicles
• type of vehicles

I know that this is a little early to advertise for October, but I'll be gone this summer working on a special assignment, so am trying to get a jump on it.

Thanks again for your participation!
