Hello Fair friends, 

It's hard to believe The 2023 Energy Fair wrapped up just one month ago! Thank you to the attendees who joined us for workshops, keynotes, exhibits, and The Inaugural Energy Fair 5K. We cannot wait to continue these events next year and create even more opportunities for education, connection, and fun for the thousands who attend.

As our team gets nearer to closing the books on The 32nd Annual Energy Fair, we are already digging into plans for next year to bring you even more do-it-yourself resources and trustworthy partners. We are excited to introduce new resources to give you more opportunities to connect with the Fair community, exhibitors, and events. We will share more on that soon!

We hope you will save the date for 2024 and spread the word to your social circles so we can continue to expand the reach of this event and deepen the impact even further. The work continues through year-round MREA programming and we are so grateful to know you are on the journey with us toward clean energy and sustainability for all. 

Thank you!

The MREA is hiring a Community Support Coordinator through the MCHS AmeriCorps program. This person will support the MREA's community facing programs including The Energy Fair, volunteer events, training programs, and Grow Solar programming. Learn more and submit your application by August 15th!

The Rise Up Scholarship Training Program is a transformative experience that provides free, hands-on solar training that takes students from "square one" all the way to their NAABCEP PV Associate Exam. Your support will help create success stories and give individuals the opportunity to get the training they need to step into meaningful work and help power the just energy transition. 

When you donate, every penny goes directly toward providing free training and meaningful work to scholarship recipients. Join us in supporting the future of clean energy for generations to come!

Thank you to everyone who already submitted. By hearing what attendees want to see at the Fair, we can continue to bring even more excitement to the event.

Evaluations will remain open until August 15th for those who have yet to share feedback. Thank you for guiding the event!

The Annual Energy Fair would not be possible without the hard work of incredible volunteers. We hope you had a great time and we thank you endlessly for joining us this year. Your efforts help promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable living!
