Andover Energy Group Minutes, September 11, 2014

Plans in motion for Solarize Kearsarge

Press release

Attending: Steve and Gisela Darling, Maria Glorioso, Andy Prokosch, Jeff Dickinson, Pecco Beaufays, Katrina Wells, and Janet Moore

We agreed to table wind-energy and biomass consideration until we are all together in November.

Should we move the entire group into Jeff’s NGO? We’ll talk in November.

Jeff will e-mail Steve Condon of ReVision about the offer he made re: solar energy for municipal buildings using a power-purchase agreement.

We moved the discussion about an AEG-NHEC partnership to November.

Katrina will help Vicky set up the solar panel at the September 27 Special Olympics fund-raiser. There is a meeting on the 17th to discuss foods. Maria and Vicky will be making cookies for the Solarize table on the 27th to publicize the Solarize Kearsarge launch event on October 18. Maria, Vicky, and Gisela and will “people” the table. Vicky and helpers will produce a “thermometer” on sandwich boards that will indicate the ongoing degree of interest; said sign will reside on the Village Green starting on the day of the launch at Colby-Sawyer. Or, we could have a progression of sandwich boards, beginning in East Andover at Sophie’s house. Gisela will post flyers around town. Maria is contacting the schools and organizations in town for publicity.

Jeff is the point man for Solarize installer interviews in mid- and late September.

On Tuesday, September 23, there will be an LED exposition in Manchester. See Pecco for details, but Maria is definitely going.

Pecco will speak to John Ferris about forwarding a Solarize information mailing to Proctor employees.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 PM. Many thanks to Maria and Jeff and everyone for their continuing efforts toward the Solarize project. We meet next on Thursday, October 2, at 7 PM at the Highland Lake Inn.
