[ausev] Aug 19th Sustainable Shoppers' Ball

[tunafish at io.com]

I can participate - a couple of notes:  1.  I do not yet have an EV, PHEV, or
HEV.  2.  Although I have been following the global warming issue since the
70's, I have only been with your group a very short while.  Let me know if you
can use me (Saturday) & what times.

Sincerely,
Tanda
