My apologies

Hi All,
 
I am terribly sorry for the distribution of spam emails to all of you.  I got a new laptop the day before I left for my niece's graduation in Nebraska.  Unfortunately, I did not install my anti-virus software before I left.  It's frustrating that you can't let your guard down at all without your privacy being compormised.
 
I apologize to all for any inconvenience these may have caused.
 
Michelle
Super! It's really changed my life!. http://www.cumbredelvino.com/friends_links.php?jGIS=42py2

Atkinson Energy Audits

Good Morning All,
 
The Energy Committee recently selected and the Board of Selectmen approved a contractor to complete the municipal energy audits for the town.  Elmer Arbogast began placing data collectors in buildings yesterday and will begin collecting equipment, electric load and building information today.  He will be taking thermal imaging pictures early Monday morning.  His schedule continues through next week and has been adjusted to avoid going into the Community Center early next week.
 
The preliminary report will be emailed to the Energy committee just before Thanksgiving and the final report will be presented to Selectmen and the public on December 13th.  We will forward the report to you and will be asking for your feedback.
 
Please feel free to contact any member of the Energy Committee with questions.
 
Sincerely,
Michelle Veasey
Jim Garrity
Judy Wainwright
Michael Mascola

Energy Fair

Hi All,
 
Julia Dundorf (or someone from Clean Air Cool Planet) has agreed to speak at the Energy Fair on the MyEnergyPlan.net.  I told her about our format last year - haven't heard back on whether that works for her presentation or whether she could tailor hers to work.
 
If we decide to use the same format, three speakers repeating a ten minute presentation every hour, we should think about a brief overview of the municipal energy audits.  We can discuss it and other ideas further at the next meeting.
