[ausev] Aug 19th Sustainable Shoppers' Ball

[Searles Chris]

Thanks Chris!

I just want to emphasize that we would be thrilled. After meeting you all 2
weeks ago and learning first hand how viable EVs are today, I am convinced
that EV is the way to go -- and that you guys are one of the best sources in
the world. 

Anything we can do to promote EV culture and Austin EV would be a great fit
with our mission. It'd also look cool and be fun,

I'm looking forward & hoping we have a quorum by Monday,

Thanks & talk with you soon -
