📆 MEETING NOTICE - Community Energy & EV 📆We'd like to advise that there will be a special edition of our Community Energy & EV Meeting this month. We have been invited by the Alpine Shire Council to participate in their Community Climate Action Plan Engagement Session and we think this is a great opportunity for our members to contribute directly to this Roadmap.The meeting will take place on Tuesday May 23, at 6pm at the Alpine Shire Council Offices in Bright. Please note that this is a different day and time than our usual meetings. The format and agenda of the meeting will also be different from what we usually do, as we will be combining our regular meeting with the engagement session.We hope that as many of you as possible will be able to join us for this important event. Your participation and input will be vital in shaping the future of our community's climate action plan. Looking forward to seeing you there! ... See MoreSee Less
