We'll be driving up from Huntsville experimenting with flat-towing our Prius and I'll bring some Prius stuff I've been working on to share at the meetings:

1. NHW11 battery refurbishment - example modules and an RC charger. We'll actually go through the steps.
2. General data recording and reporting using a Graham scanner and software. How to approach data plotting.
3. Flat-towing Prius results.
4. Prius inverter installation and operation.
5. Advocacy for HR 5734 materials and suggestions.
6. Local club activities, if anyone shows up or there is any interest.
7. Anything folks want to bring up.

Wear comfortable clothes and we'll have a grand time. If you have stuff to share, bring it along. Think of it as a chance to 'talk hybrid shop' and have some fun:

• Saturday, June 21, 10:00 PM - late, Sweet Water Microbrewers, 3066 Gatehouse Plaza, Merryfield VA (just off Rt 50 and outside the beltway.) I've reserved space for 20. If the traditional afternoon showers clear out the patio (bring a towel and skeeter repellant,) we'll probably have that space. Good food, moderate prices, and great beverages. (RSVP via PM)
• Sunday, June 22, 8:00 PM - The Dancing Crab, 4615 Wisconsin Ave. I've also asked for space for 20. All you can eat crabs, ~$40, and adding all you can drink beverages (bring a driver,) ~$60. (RSVP via PM)
