www.nwbiodiesel.org. We meet the 4th Tuesday or every month, at the Phinney Center, and it is a great way to network with biodiesel enthusiests! Sign up to our mailing list for announcements. Here is our latest announcement:
Greeting fellow Biodiesel Enthusiests!
The NW Biodiesel Network November meeting promises to be informative and fun! We are planning to hold a potluck social, as well as having a presentation about grant opportunities in WA state.
We are honored to have been approached by Senator Cantwells office- they would like to give a presentation at this upcoming meeting! We will be hearing from several of the Senators staff, though I doubt Senator Cantwell will be there- though when she hears we are having a party she may decide to attend!
Here is the outline that I was given by the Senators office:
Below are the three goals of the PowerPoint presentation I plan to give on the 22nd.
· Inform constituents on the current state of biofuels economy in Washington State.
· To educate constituents on the available funding opportunities to produce and use alternative fuels.
· Provide a road map on how to access federal funding available that will facilitate the development of a biofuels economy in Washington.
The schedule of the meeting is as follows:
7-7:30 PM Arrive, set up and serve food and drinks. (bring something to share- but come regardless!)
7:30-8:15PM Presentation and questions.
8:15-9PM Visit and discuss future events- including Forum 2006!
We are also expecting a film crew from Seattle Channel- they want to interview individuals about their reasons for using biodiesel and joining the biodiesel community. ***As part of a documentary on the Biodiesel Community in Seattle, the Seattle Channel is interesting in interviewing someone in Seattle who is in the process of creating a small biodiesel co-op and/or is making the switch to using a bio-diesel powered vehicle.***
This promises to be a fun evening- please make sure to bring your friends and to forward this invite to anyone who needs it!
