Hi, Karen,

Just a reminder, we are going to the green energy course tomorrow. Is your friend Mark coming with us? Let me know if I need to save a place for him.

After the course, we are visiting the wind farms in the area. But I don’t think we can see the new natural gas plant. It is closed this month.

The group is going to meet around 8.00 a.m. Before we leave, we plan to discuss what we want to include in our monthly article. We’ll meet in the library.

Remember to set your alarm clock before you go to bed so you’ll arrive on time.

See you tomorrow!

Jen
