Subject: BioDiesel Summit this Thursday - Did you RSVP yet?

Hello all! Attached is the agenda for this Thursdays Keyswide Sustain-Ability Project (KSAP) Workshop: The Biodiesel Summit!

KSAP Homework:

RSVP by Wednesday at 10am to info@...

If you are a KSAP "policy-maker" member, let me know whom from your govt/agency/utility/etc will be presenting their updates since the last KSAP meeting.

If you are not sure if your group is presenting, please check the attached agenda. Know when and for how long your presenter will be speaking.

Lastly, bring an estimate of how much diesel fuel you use a year, both regular street diesel and off-road-red-die diesel (boats, generators, construction eqmt).

Note that the Policy Maker updates are in the morning, followed by lunch, then the biodiesel summit. You may rsvp for one, two or all three.

This is so that fleet managers and city managers can carve time out for just what is most relevant to their duties.

Please forward this on to anyone you know who uses diesel.

See you on Thursday!

-Alison Higgins, GLEE President
