Fellow Sacramento Area EV/Plug-in Car enthusiasts,
We are getting closer to a real promotion and outreach event for "getting the word out" relative to the option for clean electric driving. The Sierra Club, Plug-in Cars, and the Electric Vehicle Association have joined to promote a NATIONAL PLUG-IN CAR DAY on Sunday October 16, 2011.
Since this event has NATIONAL promotion, we might even get a new Mitsubishi "i" coming under factory presence....
I am helping to coordinate this for the greater Sacramento Region, and we are going to take advantage of an on-going event in Davis for our "big Sunday" EV Education impact. The "Cool Davis Festival" attracted almost 2000 attendees this past year, and this year promises to be even bigger. We are getting extensive space to park our new technology cars and communicate how they can work in day-to-day driving. The SUNDAY "park-in" will be from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm there in Davis.
On FRIDAY, October 14, in the early evening there in Davis, we are also going to do an "EV CRUISE DAVIS DRIVE" around the downtown area of Davis, with a potential gathering after for dinner somewhere. I don't at this moment, have an exact time window on the CRUISE DAVIS, but it will be somewhere around 5:50-6:00 pm, I am guessing.
I critically NEED TO KNOW how many/who is going to be able to come and join in the promotion of our clean driving vehicles, so PLEASE RSVP for the following details:
______ YES, I can make the Friday Evening Cruise Davis with my EV, which is____________
______ Nope, sorry, I cannot make the Friday CRUISE.
______YES, I can make the Sunday afternoon National Plug-In Car Day promotion in Davis with my ___________________________ (which EV are you bringing?)
______ SORRY, I can't make Sunday afternoon.
For those who confirm interest, I will be forwarding specific gathering details for both FRIDAY and SUNDAY. If you know others not included here who might want to attend with their new EVs, please forward this post to them. ALL are invited !!!!
