Other FMC members:
Members in attendence were Neil Quiring, Dave Koop, Barry Bergen, and Gene Forshaw. (please forgive me if I forgot anyone).
Vendors:
There were about 8 vendors located in the old auditorium.
They each had their pamphlets and brochures about their solar energy companies.
In the time permitted, I got to talk to 5 of the vendors, before and after the program.
MSCU and MCCO had their booths in the foyer and I talked to them as well.
Please note that one of the vendors, was Sunbeam Energy Canada, Ltd.
It is owned by Neil Quiring, a member of Faith Mennonite Church.
Program:
The program was basically divided into 4 parts and took part in the chapel.

Darren spoke about why MCCO has becomed involved in solar energy and why individuals, businessess, and churches should become involved.
