You and your family have undertaken a very difficult and expensive commitment. We all respect and appreciate your efforts however many bumps you may find in the road along the way. We all wish you the best. Each of my posts ends with my web site address so that should not be hard to find. I am constructing an event page for Sarasota on my website. The document presented to the Commissioners will be posted there, along with pictures and links, for anyone interested, by the end of the day. It can also be seen here posted Monday, July 21, 2008 7:59 AM with subject [FLEAA] Sarasota City Commissioners. Cheers, Al Lococo www.evprogress.org ----- Original Message ----- From: Fran Sullivan-Fahs To: FLEAA Mailing List Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2008 5:37 AM Subject: [FLEAA] The Resergence of the EVI No, folks we don't have a date for our conversion yet, but we are moving the bulk of the rescheduled trip to Jan./Feb. of 2009. We hope to have our Prius converted way before then, but this will help us have lots of time to line up accomodations, media, etc. Before all else, I want to say how much I appreciate you, the members of FLEAA who have been so supportive over the weeks and months with encouragement and ideas. And for those of you who took up the slack and gave excellent presentations in Sarasota with Michele Mician, I give another heartfelt thanks! That commitment was really weighing on my mind, and, as the date grew closer, I kept hoping that we could make it. Andrew Roddy called to let me know that he would do the long trip to have his super EBox there. I heard that Al Lococo was there with his wonderful truck that has logged over 2,000 miles. Also Al brought a presentation that is so very well written. Can you repost that, Al, for any members who may have missed it the first time around? And could your repost the address of your website that has many more of your clear and interesting EV writings? Also, James Parish participated with his plug-in Prius. We look forward to getting together with James at the rescheduled EVI. I know there were more EVers there (but I don't know names), and I thank you also. I am including below a copy of part of Michele Mician's thank you to members who were there. This shows the great job you did! Hi all! THANK YOU for all of your efforts. It was great to see so many interested parties. I think you really got the word out and now people know there is a FLEAA! So much fun. Take Care, Michele Michele mician, MS CITY OF SARASOTA Sustainability INITIATIVES I am in regular correspondance with folks at A 123 and with our conversion team at The Advanced Vehicle Research Center. Both are dedicated groups of professionals who are looking at the total picture of reliability based upon attention to all details. Their delays were necessary to make sure that the advancement of the PHEV technology uses the best and safest techniques and components possible. Now, that previous statement shows my maturity talking. Sometimes my impatience overcomes my maturity, but I am growing up, and as I turn 60 years old next week, I hope to speak from a very wise and patient place more and more! B^) I had hoped to be addressing folks while on the EVI at this birthday occasion, but life had a different pace for things. Wish I could learn that patience thing so the lesson would just quit coming around so much. I need patience in learning patience. On a later posting I will share some of the words of an A 123 representative about their focus now. It helped me to develop more respect for their position by reading those words a few days ago. Again, thanks for all that everyone has done. Fran, The EVI ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list listserv@floridaeaa.org http://www.floridaeaa.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list listserv@floridaeaa.org http://www.floridaeaa.org
