The Solar Decathlon 2009 is holding a Local Day of Tours and a Bon Voyage Event at the end of next week. Members of the Natural Fusion Team will take their entirely solar-powered home to the National Mall from October 8-16 as part of an international competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.
But before they go, you can come out and help them celebrate. Tours of the Natural Fusion home begin at 12 p.m. on September 25. (The house is located at the southwest end of Innovation Park.) Ed Begley Jr., actor and environmentalist, will be on hand for a photo shoot at 6 p.m. and an 8 p.m. lecture in the Dean’s Hall of the Penn Stater Conference Hotel. A book signing of Ed Begley Jr.’s Guide to Sustainable Living will occur after the lecture.
The event is free, and it is a great way for you to get involved and learn more about a wonderful EMS opportunity. If you’d like more information, contact Thomas Rauch, media liaison at sd2009.media@psu.edu.
And on another note…appointments are available each week; however, it’s a good idea to schedule early. These past few weeks have been busy with many of you coming in for help with your resumes and assignments. The earlier you come in, the more help I can give you. Call or email me for an appointment.
