Santa Cruz that we help promote

Hi Wes!  Thanks for the help getting our article on Women in Renewable 
Energy into your magazine!  I checked out the current issue of HopeDance 
and it looks great!  Good work!  As a token of appreciation, SEI would like 
to offer a discount to our Women's Photovoltaic Training in Santa Cruz for 
any women in your Permaculture Guild.  We would like to continue to partner 
our efforts together, and would love to lighten the financial load to your 
members that may be interested in attending.

This 6 day intensive training is typically priced at $600.  For members of 
your Permaculture Guild, we would like to discount $75 off of the original 
price to individuals that sign up for the class.  In addition, if you have 
a group of 4 or more interested members, we would discount each member at 
25% of the original price (that would come to $450/person).

Please circulate this among your members to see if there is 
interest.  Hopefully this can help someone out!

Some details on the class are at listed below.

Look forward to hearing from you!  Tell me if this helps out...

Solar Energy International (SEI) presents the 2004 WomenÂ’s Program.

The WomenÂ’s Program at SEI has been growing every year. Because of demand, 
we now have more women-only workshops scheduled than ever before! Our goal 
is to train and empower women to use renewable energy and seek employment 
in the field.  The curriculum is the same as the coed classes.  The 
difference is the empowered women that you will network with, learn from, 
and interact with in this class.  If you arenÂ’t familiar with our 
organization, learn more about us at

WOMENÂ’S PHOTOVOLTAIC DESIGN & INSTALLATION - 1 week workshop

Participants in the PV Design & Installation workshop learn how to use PV 
(photovoltaic) technology to produce their own electricity from the 
sun.  The workshop focuses on the practical design and installation of home 
PV systems.   Participants learn system sizing, site analysis, hardware 
specification and component selection.  The workshop covers typical 
applications and case study examples.  This year there are 3 classes 
available. Textbooks are included.

Santa Cruz, California, March 8-13. The classroom segment of this workshop 
will take place at the Louden Nelson Community Center in downtown Santa 
Cruz. March 12 & 13th will be a hands-on 2.5 kilowatt utility interactive 
PV installation with local solar installer Akeena Solar. To register, 
contact SEI directly or

  Why Women Only?  The workshops are intended to provide women with a 
supportive learning atmosphere. Many women have little or no hands-on 
electrical experience, and may be wary of attending a coed course with men 
who have grown up using power tools. Even women with hands-on experience 
already working in technical fields find it helpful and rewarding 
networking with other women interested and/or working in renewable energy.
