Renewable Energy Club - Tuesday Meeting

Hello everyone, sorry for the last notice, but we are having a meeting tomorrow again, at the solar house at 11. I want to set up the officer positions which I kept saying I would do, so, if you want to take a role on, come tomorrow or let me know if you cannot make it and Ill see what I can do.

Tomorrow I want to talk about the Solar Heating Project for the Reccenter in detail, go into where it came from, who wants to work on that project now and what our next move is in that campaign. It should be a great project and something that I feel is really viable and necessary for our pool.

There are a few interested professors I have spoken with, so one may stop by but if not he will be attending a future meeting to talk about how he sees the project and what he can help out with.

Announcements:
The Green Campus Program is off to a start on campus and the interns are looking for volunteers who may be interested in helping out. For those who do not know,  last spring, a group of students applied and got a grant to run energy efficiency programs on campus. The program comes from the state of CA and the Alliance to Save Energy and 12 schools are choosen, 6 UCs and 6 CSUs. Cal Poly was the 6th and this is such an amazing honor! We are a Green Campus, or, trying to be. But, projects entail dorm energy competitions, monitoring systems for the dorms, IT energy efficiency program use, Occupancy and Load reduction in campus buildings. If anyone is interested in any of these, there are people to contact. Ask me about it tomorrow.


Focus the Nation is in the planning stages. The event is a day-long simposium on Global Warming Solutions for America. There is planned to be a green job fair, speakers on all sides of the issue, from business solutions, engineering solutions, arch, social, political. There are art installations planned for the UU and Dexter, there is a band playing on that day. Basically, a whole lot of fun. But, the group needs more help to plan for the event. They meet on Fridays at 11 in garden grill and the date is not till January 31st, but that will come soon! Let me know if you are interested.
