October 25 Passive Buildings California Meeting Reminder & Agenda

Submitted by katy on Fri, 10/23/2009 - 3:56pm

Many of us trekked to the Midwest for the North American Passive House Conference, and we're excited to bring back highlights to the group.

To old & new subscribers, I'm sorry that you haven't received recent newsletters; I only realized last week that the website's "Newsletter" feature hasn't been working. I think I finally got it fixed! Anyway, the most recent was a follow up from West Coast Green. You can read it here. And please join us for our next meeting this Sunday--and bring a friend or two!
