       Sat- Sun 17-18 Sept. 05 : Larz Anderson Auto Museum :

Hello All,

   Welcome back to campus.  Just wanted to let you know, if you're 
interested in some
     "hands on" sustainable mobility, the LFEE will be co-hosting the 
third annual
     AltWheels Alternative Transporation Festival at the Larz Anderson 
Auto Museum
     in Brookline, MA. (http://www.altwheels.org) the weekend after next.

   Lawn Show: Both Sat. & Sun there will be alternative vehicles (and 
their owners) on
     display (please don't feed them).    Alternative vehicles - from 
CNG buses to Hi-Carb
     bicycles, electric vehciles (1914!), vegetable oil fueled cars, 
etc.  Many, many exhibitors
     of vehicles, as well as local environmental and other non-profits 
will be there.

   Symposium: There will also be numerous panels with experts on 
alternative vehicle
     technologies, alternative fuels, urban planning and other related topics.
     Saturday's panels will focus mostly on technologies, with 
Sunday's focusing more
     broadly on mobility and bike and shoe friendly cities -- but not 
exclusively so for details
     on who and when go to...  http://www.altwheels.org/panels.html

   Getting There, Discounts, etc.  Massport has graciously agreed to 
shuttle people from
    near, and not so near, MBTA stops to the Larz Anderson in their 
CNG buses, for those
    who'd like to leave their car at home (voluntarily or 
involuntarily).  Details on this and
    admission can be found at...  http://www.altwheels.org/altwheels_info.html

   Looking for Volunteers!  Higher bandwidth involvement (and free 
admission of course)
    is attainable by volunteering.  AltWheels is an all volunteer 
organization, so you'll be
    in good company directing traffic, helping register people, 
searching for lost panelists,
    etc.  We especially need volunteers for Sunday right now.  If 
you're intersted, please
    download this form: 
http://www.altwheels.org/docs/AltWheels_Volunteer_Signup.doc
    and/or contact our volunteer coordinator Colleen at 617-872-5176 or
    camcnerney at hotmail.com

That's it!  Hope you had a great Labor Day.

   Steve Connors
