[Oeva-list] EV Celebration (aka Awareness) Day July 9 Pioneer Courthouse Square

[Gary Graunke]

Dear friends of electric vehicles,

The Oregon Electric Vehicle Association (OEVA), a chapter of the Electric Auto 
Association, is pleased to announce its annual Electric Vehicle Celebration 
Day on Saturday, July 9, 2011, from 9:30 AM till 5:00 PM at Pioneer Courthouse 
Square in the center of downtown Portland. While much remains to be done, we 
intend to celebrate the remarkable progress that has taken place over the last 
year. We invite you to share with us your vision of our electric 
transportation future at this year's event as a speaker, exhibitor, or 
sponsor.

More information about the event and pictures from past events are on our 
website at www.oeva.org.

At this year's event, we are especially interested in hearing from those who 
are making electric transportation of all kinds an everyday reality in Oregon. 
This includes public officials and business leaders, electric vehicle and EV 
component manufacturers, vehicle conversion services (hobbyist and 
commercial), electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) suppliers, providers of 
services to electric vehicle drivers, and other related non-profit 
organizations. We welcome commercial vehicles as well as our members' personal 
vehicles to display at the event.

The OEVA is a non-profit association (501c3) of electric vehicle enthusiasts. 
We promote electric vehicle education and encourage their safe construction 
and use. However, for the last two years we have rented Pioneer Square at 
higher rates to enable commercial interests related to electric vehicles to 
conduct normal business activities at our event. To defray this increased 
cost, we are soliciting sponsorships. Sponsorship levels are shown below, 
which includes an annual membership to OEVA and exhibit space at the event.

All proceeds will go toward the event or OEVA's general fund.  We are looking 
for one headliner sponsor  (“Brought to you by...” sponsor) with logo at the 
head of our banner.  The Platinum Sponsors (our second highest level sponsors) 
will be listed on a sign at the event with your logo.  We are also accepting 
donations and sponsorships even if you don't wish to exhibit at the event.  If 
you know anyone else that may be interested, please pass this along to them.  
Also, if you are not the correct person to make these decisions at your 
organization, please feel free to pass this along to the appropriate person.
