Greetings all,
Last year we had a terrific Solar Cooking Festival at The Discovery Center with just less then a month from idea to event. Next year we want to make it the fabulous event it should be. Fresno is one of the best places in the USA to solar cook; both because of our abundant sunshine but also because of our air quality problems. Other factors include poverty issues and our diverse cultural make up. Our solar cooking group is currently one of the most active in this country. So, lets put Fresno on the map for something positive and show everyone that Fresno Cooks Solar.
Here is an abbreviated agenda for our meeting this Thursday Oct. 25, 2012 at Woodward Park Library, 944 E. Perrin Ave., Fresno 93720 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.
