Just a few additions by Steve Lough:

Yes, we did discuss the seminar in Kent, and the partisipation was closer to 100, both days, and it was GREAT to hear from John Wayland and the "White Zombie" and James Billmaier of "JOLT" fame.

Also I think it was noteworthy, that there were a total number of "LEAF's of SEVEN ( 7 ) leafs... Wow ! Up from 6 LEAF's last month.

Also that we had two young ladies from the Sierra Club to give us some additional details about "Moving Planet Seattle" on Sep. 24th. A very ambitious undertaking with various Enviro. EVents all day long. SEVA folks may be involved in both a (Non-Carbon) Parade, as well as a static display. Details to follow.

Eric Hovland brought the Body of his Formual EVee " . Pictures at: http://www.diyelectriccar.com/garage/cars/239 I personally LOVE the natural wood. And we had a Straw Poll of SEVA members as to wheter Eric should keep the body Natural Wood finish, or paint it as he is planning. Most SEVA folks loved the Natural Wood finish. ( Eric... it is still YOUR CALL... of course...)

Less Kneww.. (sp) The fellow who invited us to the "Cruz" on October 2nd, which is a Fund Raiser for an ORG. called "They Shall Walk" who are developing mechanical walking aparatus for Vet's who have lost use of their laggs,,, . These mechanical legs are powered by compressed air ( from a SCUBA tank..) ? ? Not electricity... hummmmmm. He also gave us a HEADS UP on the opening of yet another Charging Station at the SEARS store out at 155th and Aurora on September 9th. They would like as many EV's as can show UP. It is the FIRST SEARS store in the Nation to have a EVSE ( Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)

Also we will be soon invited to be at a Press EVent when AAA brings out their Mobile Emergency EVSE Truck according to one Jennifer cook, National Media coordinator for Tripple A.
