[Green] Follow-up on Green Sanctuary Committee meeting

[Dawn Hewitt]

Annie and others, 

In the media announcements I've sent out in the past few days, I set the registration deadline to be 7 p.m. Wednesday. If we don't get six sign-ups by then, we'll cancel. Michelle posted the event on Facebook today, and boosted it (paid) through Wednesday, so it will have even wider distribution. I HOPE we get at least five more sign-ups by Wednesday at 7 p.m.!

Perhaps wind, rain, or foot and bicycle traffic moved most of them to the sides of the trail. There were only three spots that needed work. Still, the sweet gum trees are laden with their nasty seed pods. I’m afraid this will have to be an ongoing project.

I couldn’t find proposed dates for the Solar Installer training class; I did propose to Annie that we have a third Learn to Build a Solar Generator class, and she proposed it for March 30.

According to the MOU, for the Learn to Build a Solar Generator class, we are obliged to provide coffee and/or tea, three tables (or more as required), and chairs for all students and the instructor; and a whiteboard. Do we have a white board?  I know we have an easel with a poster-size paper tablet. I asked Annie if this will do. I will go to FUUSM tomorrow during my lunch break (while the office is open) to find out if there is a whiteboard. Does anyone know?

Unless the class is canceled, we'll need a volunteer to arrive at 12:30 to plug in the coffee maker, set up the tables and chairs, get out the whiteboard (or easel with a poster-sized paper tablet and markers), make the coffee, get out mugs, start hot water for tea, get out the tea bags, sugar, creamer, etc. And at the end of the class, to unplug the coffee machine and hot water pot, clean up the cups & etc. I would volunteer if I could!!  I’ll be in Philadelphia!!  Also, the volunteer will need to arrange with Chris Keller (or someone else) to access the social hall.

So, you’ll note on the MOA the class price says both $970 and $820. That’s why. Perhaps the Green Sanctuary Committee could offer a $100 scholarship for the class, and we could ask the Values Trust for $150 to pay for the certification exam, so the recipient would have to come up with $720. Alternatively, GSC could offer to pay for the $150 exam, and we could ask the Values Trust to pay for …. some other amount. Just food for thought.
