Hi all,
I think Jonathan covered most of the details about Turkey Creek, I went
back through my emails to find the contacts for you all if you want to use
Turkey Creek again. I did notice that we talked them down from $500 to
$150.
I think Jonathan nailed it as to why Turkey Creek is a great location,
however if you all come up with a better alternative that's fine as well.
If you want to do Turkey Creek again, the main contact I have is Kelly
Hand. Two other contacts that you can pursue if you Kelly no longer works
there or something of that nature, is Daniel Garrett and Kiley Niles. I
will put all their signatures at the bottom of this email
They will want proof of insurance which we have through EAA. You may need
to contact EAA headquarters and verify what issuance they are use this
year, but it doesn't cost any money for us, its basically just a paper
proving we have liability coverage at our event. Last year I worked with
Selenda Lozano of ISU Lovering Insurance Services her contact is
Slozano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and phone 650-585-7502.
I also made sure to go around and personally talk to all the managers of
the local dealerships to see if they can send someone out with a vehicle to
do test drives or at the very least show the cars and I gave them a one
page flyer with all the details about the Turkey Creek event.
The big thing KEVA needs to work on this year for NDEW is media attention,
to get the NDEW event in the paper, and possibly on the radio. We just
need to get the event out there to the public and let them know what we are
planning on doing a good week before the event!
If I can help in any way, feel free to reach out to me.
I might be doing a NDEW event here in Denver if I can find a good space!
Have fun Knoxville!
-Eric

Patrick,
I won't be able to attend the July EV meeting, as I am tied up with guests
at the lake. However, I would like to participate in the NDEW event, and I
think that Turkey creek is a good location.

All,
Let me chime in here. We selected the Turkey Creek location for a couple
of reasons:
1. We manage another NDEW event that takes place at Neyland
Stadium. That event does NOT allow us to do ride n drives, nor allow us to
have any EV owner to come show up and join us to work towards facilitating
gathering a LARGE group of EVs. Bob Harris’ event in Pigeon Forge is
similar in that he can only fit some many vehicles in the space allotted.
The Turkey Creek site has room for as many EVs as we can get to show up.
(The Neyland event is held because we get the chance to interact with LOTS
of people who are already at a site – we go to them, they don’t have to
come to us.)
2. Is was in a widely visited part of the region, thus attending
would be easy for many citizens as they know where it is.
3. It was free… at first. In year 1, we operated under the
thinking “beg forgiveness instead of asking permission” and didn’t contact
the parking management company. We (Eric and I) decided to contact them the
following year to be more up-front with our request and so that we would be
being more careful in our decision making. That lead to some good
discussions, a new relationship with the parking authority, and I think a
fee of $150 that I believe was negotiated down from $250 (and that
ETCleanFuels paid for).
We are at a point where we need KEVA to take on a larger role in helping
manage the larger of the two Knoxville events. I am completely open to
what the KEVA members think is the best Knoxville site based on working to
a) get the most attendees and visibility and b) butts in seats test driving
EVs. Many of you know that many EVs sell themselves if the people are there
to listen… we also need more help getting the warm bodies there to listen.
We can help in a number of ways and are willing to cover the cost of the
site if that cost is kept relatively small. If the July meeting is this
coming Saturday, I believe I can attend. Apologies for my lateness here but
I’ve been at the beach for the last 8 days.
Peace

I don't think this was discussed at the June meeting because nobody knew
of it. As Melissa mentioned, Eric was the coordinator last year, so since
he is in Colorado, we'll need someone to take the lead on this if we want
to participate. As far as I remember, it was simply scheduling cars to be
there. Maybe Eric can elaborate on what he had to do last year. NDEW week
is September 9-17, 2017. The web site with more info is
https://driveelectricweek.org/ It looks like someone has already done
the first step in getting a TBD event registered for Knoxville, so the
first step might be following up on that.

Hey Patrick,
I hope your week has gone well and that you’re ready to enjoy a fun
Fourth of July weekend!
Over the past several years, ETCleanFuels has primarily worked with Eric
Caldwell to organize a NDEW event in Knoxville (Turkey Creek for the last 2
years, I believe).
I wanted to start the conversation to see if you or someone in KEVA was
planning to host/support an event this year. Are you the best POC for that?
If so, would you be willing to set up a call soon to discuss?
Thanks so much,
Melissa
