The Commonwealth Club's 104th Anniversary and 19th Annual
Distinguished Citizen Award Dinner is Thursday, Feb 22, 2007 at the
Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. Honorees and speakers include a
blue-ribbon group of Green leaders.

Denis Hayes will be arriving in our PHEV. The $300/ticket attendees
will get the message that we have real solutions to address global
warming when they see that car and a Tesla Roadster as they make
their way at the hotel's majestic front entrance.

The Commonwealth Club has had several PHEV-related events since 2003,
and Sherry Boschert will give a talk based on her book, Plug-In
Hybrids: The Cars that Will Recharge America at noon on Weds., Feb.28
(see <http://www.commonwealthclub.org/mlf/>).

Here's the Feb. 22 program, which is nearly sold out:
