Yes it has been a very good winter, was hoping for more snow.  Joe and Tom did a great job, I had to run before all the questions were answered to get to a meeting. 

 

The 27th at 7:00 would work just fine, talk to you then.

 

Thanks

Elmer,
 
Hope you're having a great winter!  I was glad to see you registered for the NH Energy Program webinar today.  Were you able to attend?  I thought Joe and Tom did a very nice job.
 
First, I would like to reintroduce you to our new Town Administrator, Bill Innes.  Bill shared with us at our last Energy Commission meeting that he had met you during your audit of the Community Center. 
 
We talked with Bill about the possibility of having someone such as yourself guide the Town and oversee the implementation of a selected set of ECMs.  We would like to discuss this with you and get an estimate of what your fees would be.  Would you be available for a conference call on Monday, February 27th at 7pm?
 
Best regards,
Michelle

Local Energy Conference

Hi All,
 
The Local Energy Conference will be held on March 30th.  We requested funding to be able to attend this, so let me know if you are interested.  (We save money if we all register together!)  http://www.cleanair-coolplanet.org/les2012/index.php  I was able to attend the morning sessions last year and found all to be very informative.  There were more sessions that I would have like to have gone to, but couldn't clone myself - thus the reason it is important to have more than one attendee!
 
Hope you'll consider ...
 
Michelle

RE: Button Up NH 201

In April, the library usually does some type of Earth Day event.  Last year we had children’s posters hung in the lobby with an Earth Day theme.  We gave away reusable bags with “Tweet the Earth Well” on them.  It was a hit! 

 

Maybe we can do something with Button Up NH in early April and use the Button Up theme instead of Earth Day.  I’m open to whatever you think will work.

If you have a meeting, let me know and I’ll try to attend.

Thanks,

Diane

Hi Diane,
 
Thanks Diane!  We're just starting to explore the partnerships, etc., but I think a Saturday morning is what we had in mind.  Although in speaking with a similar group in Rye, they have more luck with evening meetings.  Do have a feel for one being better in Atkinson than the other?  We wouldn't want to try for anything before the end of March in order to make sure we have time to promote.

Hi Michelle,
Are you looking for a week night or Saturday?  How long will the program  be?  One/two hours?
The Kimball Library would be happy to cosponsor it with you.
Diane

Hi Diane,

Hope you're having a great winter!  (Certainly not a normal weather year...)

The Energy Commission is interested in holding another Button Up NH workshop in Atkinson and would like to ask the library to be a partner in the event.  They are now offering a 201 workshop with more information on do-it-yourself projects, etc.  The partnership wouldn't require more than you've done in the past - basically promotion.  Jim Garrity is also asking the Rotary Club to join as partners.  Button-Up organizers are asking for this type of collaboration so that they have a  better chance of a reasonable turnout for their efforts.

For more info ... http://myenergyplan.net/buttonup/

If you're interested, could you give us a couple of dates that you think might work well.

Thanks!
