Dear friends,

GTC’s website is currently being bombarded by thousands of junk posts that have absolutely nothing to do with sustainability.  It makes it difficult and cumbersome to find the legitimate posts and to put them up on the site.   It is possible that this barrage was designed to achieve just that.   Or the site may have only fallen victim to parasitic marketing.  In either cases, the GTC team is now working on figuring out ways to protect ourselves from such onslaught.

We truly apologize for the delay in posting legitimate Chicoan posts.  Please, bear with us as we look for practical solutions.

Respectfully green regards,

Gerard Ungerman

We will have our next meeting on Saturday, 10 Sept. at 10am.  We will meet at the Brandstatt Brothers shop, 27 Rose Avenue on the west side of Chico.   Please bring your electric vehicles for display if you wish.  Parking will be available in front of the shop.

The meeting will have reports from EV users, EV conversion up-dates and a call for future meeting topics.

Sincerely,

Jerry Brandstatt, President
Chico Chapter EAA
