One of the topics that needs to be discussed at this Saturday's
meeting is the NDEW events in September (one month away!) I
unfortunately will be out of town this Saturday, so I wanted to
provide my input to that discussion ahead of time.
There are two Knoxville events:
Sat Sep 8 at Neyland stadium organized by ETCleanFuels (Jonathon Overly)
Sat Sep 15 at Whole Foods organized by the KnoxEV club
For the Sep 15 event, if you are going to help (i.e.to talk to people,
bring a vehicle, etc) then it would be good if you register as a
volunteer via the NDEW site:
https://driveelectricweek.org/volunteer.php
I am registered as the 'captain' of the event with NDEW - all that
means is I'm getting the official packet of literature and giveaways.
I'm also willing and able to help coordinate things. We talked last
meeting about everyone reaching out to get dealers involved, so
hopefully we have some leads there.
I am planning on being there with my volt, and I have a friend who
hopefully will be there with his I3. My friend also knows the owner of
West Chevrolet and has talked to him about West participating. I will
let everyone know about that as soon as I get a definite answer.
I was thinking about suggesting having an informal area were some of
us might bring "other things electric" such as yard equipment, mowers,
scooters, bikes, etc. Please let me know if there is interest there.
Finally, we last month we discussed 'marketing' - hopefully people
have more ideas about that and it will be time to start trying to get
the word out.
