I can answer the last one...
The August meeting will be a two parter.  They will both be at the REI at
6th and Lamar.

Thursday, August 6 at 7:00 pm there will be a presentation --
Electric Vehicles: Today & Tomorrow

Saturday, August 8 from 9:00am - 11:00 am --
we will be showing AustinEV member cars in the REI parking lot.

For a PDF of the flyer you can hopefully grab it from this link:

Cheers,
