We have a great opportunity to learn about solar power and see it in action at the 2007 Solar Decathlon on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It will be October 12-20. This is an event where college and university students have designed and constructed solar-powered houses and will reconstruct them on the Mall. The houses are judged and the winner is announced at the end of the event. It's open to the public and there are even workshops!

We'd like to get a group of us together and Metro into D.C. - maybe on Saturday, October 13th? Parents will need to come along with your children. Let us know if you're interested in taking this field trip by emailing
jimkelzack@earthlink.net.
