Fwd: Application for Summer of Solutions Local Planning Teams

[Timothy DenHerder-Thomas]

Hi all,

This is just a reminder to fill out the form below (and/or forward it to people you know would be interested), preferably by Sunday night.

Fill it out if you haven't already and plan on helping coordinate a local planning team for Summer of Solutions next summer.

Forward this to folks you know who may be interested in hosting programs and remind them to submit.

Sunday is only 3 days away, and while we can still accept folks after that, we need to pull people together for central messaging/ planning discussions/ we need to have some idea of how big this is.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Timothy DenHerder-Thomas
PS. MN SoS folks, where are you? I'm the only local who's filled this out yet.

Application for Summer of Solutions Local Planning Teams

Thank you for expressing interest in developing a Summer of Solutions program (youth summer program for community climate solutions) in your local area for Summer 2009!  With your help we can build a ground-breaking summer program that creates real local climate solutions all over the country. We haven't figured out the full visioning/ messaging yet, and local planners will have a huge role in figuring out what actually happens in their local areas - this application helps identify the team that will be working together to plan this.

If you are unfamiliar with Summer of Solutions, or do not understand the roles/ responsibilities you are applying for by filling out this form, please read the information provided on our website: http://www.grandaspirations.org/sos.html
You should also check out our amazing partners in crime at the Northwest institute for Community Energy - we'll be planning as a team for next year: http://groups.google.com/group/thenice/web/nice-description

If you have multiple members of your planning team, please have each member of your team fill out one of these applications.  It is not necessary for each member to fill out the full-paragraph sections, but we invite each of you to share your ideas and aspirations for the summer.

Please fill out this form by midnight Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, September 7.  If you have questions, please email timot...@gmail.com.  Thanks!

The MN Summer of Solutions Team
The Northwest Institute for Community Energy
