If you have been in the center on a Wednesday or Saturday (or any day it seems)\, you know we have steadily outgrown our current location. We will soon bring our community a new\, bigger\, better center complete with expanded shopping and a dedicated workshop/community space. We will offer more programs like Art of Reuse\, Craft Nights\, Kids Art Workshops and Educator Professional Development. Look for more details on our move very soon! \nWe want to send a sincere THANK YOU to our entire community. We cannot do this without you!

SUMMARY:Postcards For Progress Party
DESCRIPTION:From the Austin Sierra Club –\nLet’s write some postcards for our favorite candidates and party.\nThere is a campaign for this election to send out lots of handwritten postcards to those who may not vote or haven’t voted in recent elections. This is a great idea that could reach a lot of voters in Texas. It could be much more effective than phone banking (I can write 50 cards an hour and only reach a few folks per hour on the phone on a good day). \nThe important midterm election is around the corner and the results will be vital for environmental causes. A very effective way to contact voters is to participate in the postcard campaign being done by various candidates. Blank postcards will be supplied for this meetup. \nIf you cannot join us at this meetup\, then you can write postcards from the comfort of your home. All you have to do is go to one of the locations and check out some blank cards\, bring them home and hand write a message in your own words\, and return the cards to where you got them. \nThe adresses are: \nDemocratic Party HQ 6929 Airport Blvd\, Unit 127 Austin\, TX 78752 Near N. Lamar and Airport\nRepublican Party HQ 9420 Research Blvd. Echelon III\, #200-2G\, Austin\, TX 78759 \nThe deadline is September 30 \nA sample message could be:\nDear neighbor;\nI urge you to vote for ______ this election for better healthcare\, social security\, environmental protection\, public education\, equal pay\, living wages\, freedom of speech and the Press. etc

SUMMARY:Solar Austin Happy Hour: Valuing Solar And Distributed Energy
DESCRIPTION:From Solar Austin –\n\nThe explosive growth of renewable energy throughout the US\, including here in Austin\, continues thanks to technological and policy innovations such as the value of solar tariff incentive used here in Austin. Nevertheless\, funding and implementing wide-scale storage of renewable energy remains a challenge\, particularly for distributed energy resources (DER)\, such as rooftop solar. \nWe are excited to announce that Karl Rábago\, Executive Director of the Pace Energy and Climate Center (PECC)\, will discuss these and related renewable energy innovations as our September Happy Hour speaker. He will be joining us via Skype\, but don’t worry – the rest of your Solar Austin friends will be there in person. Mr. Rábago will delve into the development of value of solar tariffs in different markets as well as its potential role in the adoption of DER storage. As the former Vice President of Distributed Energy Services at Austin Energy who led the way in creating the first value of solar tariff\, Mr. Rábago will be a particularly insightful speaker on this topic. \nMr. Rábago is the Executive Director of the PECC\, at the Pace Law School in White Plains\, New York. The PECC mission is to protect the earth’s environment through solutions that transform the ways that society supplies and consumes energy. Mr. Rábago has some 25 years experience in energy and climate policy markets. He serves as Chair of the Board of the Center for Resource Solutions\, a San Francisco-based non-governmental organization that works to advance voluntary clean energy markets. He also sits on the Board of the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC). Mr. Rábago also is co-director and principal investigator for the Northeast Solar Energy Market Coalition\, a US DOE SunShot Initiative Solar Market Pathways project. \nWe hope you will join us for this discussion on cutting edge innovations in solar and energy storage policy with a true industry thought-leader.
