Dave Owens’ daughter will graduate from Redlands University with a 3.95 GPA.  Her major is in Speech Therapy with a goal of becoming a bilingual speech therapist.  She was inspired to pursue this field after working many summers at Camp Hapitok.   
 
April 20th - Chuck will be showing his famous sled dog presentation.  He just got back from Alaska where it was soooooo cold!!
 
Michael introduced our speaker, Kevin Hauber, who graduated from Cal Poly and is now working with Green Building.  He is an expert in Real Estate Transactions with energy concerns.  The state government put out goals that are supposed to be met by cities and counties at their own expense.      Existing buildings will require energy efficiency updates and water efficiency at the same time.   By 2020, new buildings or newly remodeled buildings will be required to have 0% energy created by non “green” methods.  So where will the money come from?  He has many things that can be done to help with this very expensive project......grants and rebates are just two possibilities.  Solar leases get recorded on your property so if you sell, you need to be aware that it does not increase your property value. However, if you buy your solar system, it will add to your property value. 
 
50/50 went to Nick...Happy Saint Patrick’s Day......See you next week.
