Chart: Cumulative Installed Solar Capacity (kW) in
Santa Monica, 2007 at far right in red.Next
Thursday the
City of Santa Monica will recognize
2007 Solar Champions. These are the people who
have put their money where their mouth is, investing in
solar for their homes and/or businesses over the past
10 months -- and, as the chart shows, doubling Santa
Monica's installed solar capacity.
Interest was great in January when we kicked-off the
program, and given the past year's activity,
we expect a terrific celebration.
Come that
night, and you'll join with Mayor
Bloom and other City
dignitaries to celebrate our newest Solar Champions.
You'll also hear from our keynote speaker, Terry
Tamminen. Tamminen is Governor
Schwarzenegger's Chief Environmental Policy Advisor
and he'll be putting efforts like Solar Santa Monica into
a local and regional perspective.
Also planned - a chance for informal conversation
over refreshments, starting at 6:30 p.m. in the
courtyard, plus facilitated community discussion at the
end of the program.
RSVP now to Althea Osmond via email,
or call her at
310 458-4992.
(The Town Hall will be held at the Martin Luther King
Auditorium, Main Library, 601 Santa Monica
Boulevard.)

Do you know a Solar Champion? One of the main
items on the November 1 agenda is to recognize
all Santa Monicans who have
installed
solar on their home or business in
2007.
We'd feel awful if we missed someone! If you know a
Solar Champion - a family member, a neighbor, a
colleague -- please send us a name and contact info
and we'll send them a personal invitation. Thanks for
helping acknowledge these great residents of our
city. Please contact
Virginia
Nicols with Solar Champion names: (949) 450-
7153.
