Carshare talk SAT 3/16... from New Zealand!

[Janet Murphy]

Dear Carshare enthusiasts,

Our next carshare gathering will be March 16th by Josh Yeats. He sent me so much useful information I thought I would include it all for you (see below). 

Because of the time difference and the daylight savings time change, the timing was very tricky. Could someone check this and make sure it's correct? Let me know.

Thanks,

Janet

Background on Cohaus

Why we have a carshare

Costs: 

- how much we spent, how it was funded

- how much it costs to run, how we recover the cost & provide for future Insurance

What we know after ~3 years

About our Carshare

A carshare scheme of 6 vehicles was conceived early on, during planning

Hi Janet and Car-Sharers ~

Can't wait to hear Josh's story!  I'd like to invite more folks from my community to listen in.  Is that OK?

I looked up the time conversion at https://savvytime.com/converter/nzdt-to-edt/mar-19-2024/7am, and the times it reported agree with yours.

Having just returned from New Zealand yesterday myself, I also agree that the times look right, with Daylight Savings starting this weekend.
