RCS September 2010 Update

On September 2nd, Regina Car Share (RCS) met with the City of Regina's Environment Advisory Committee to explain what car sharing is, and how it benefits the environment. We naturally pointed out how it also saves members money, and compliments other forms of public transportation too. The committee was very interested in car sharing, and is willing to explore it further, especially after they formally examine the cuts to pollution car sharing enables. If you'd contact the city's Environmental Advisory Committee and express your support for car sharing, that would be helpful to everyone. And if you're not yet a member, joining is the best way to support the co-op.

Also, RCS is pleased to welcome several new members to the co-operative, including an engineering firm downtown. To better serve all of our members, we're shopping for a vehicle to park at 12th Ave. and Broad St. We hope to have a more precise announcement about an expansion of our fleet, soon.

We've had a couple people report that they had difficulty accessing the application form on our website, using Internet Explorer. If you use Firefox, it works perfectly. If you have questions, please call or email us for assistance.

Sincerely,

John Klein
President

P.S. Were always looking for volunteers or members who would like to serve on our Board. Send us an email or give us a call for more information.

Earth Day Presentation on car sharing

I'll be giving a presentation about car sharing at the Regent Place library branch on April 22, 2010 Earth Day 7:30 PM. Contact the library to pre-register.

107 Albert Street, 777-6086

I'm also pleased to announce that our Kia Rio 5 is now parked at a more permanent home on the 2200 block of McIntyre St. in Transitional neighbourhood. This location is more central for our current member base, and is still easily accessible to Cathedral and Downtown residents and businesses who are eying a membership in the car share.

And here's a reminder that existing members can earn $25 credit for every member they sign up into the co-operative.

Website downtime

I just spoke with our webmaster, and reginacarshare.ca's main website and email are offline temporarily as he deals with a distributed Denial of Service attack. Yes, we're collateral damage of Internet warfare. And you thought running online businesses were easy? ;-)

Our website should be up again soon, and members can still book the car since Car Share Everywhere is up and running in Vancouver.

UPDATE: The website went back up the following morning.

AGM complete, Board meeting this week

There's a board meeting at 2221 Athol St. at 7:30, Tuesday March 30th, 2010.

The Annual General Meeting wrapped up today with more than than half of our membership showing up, as well as many eager volunteers. Minutes will be posted later, on our website.

AGM reminder

The RCS AGM is this weekend. If you want to vote at the meeting, you'll need to be a member, so pick up your Driver Abstract and photocopy of license before SGI offices close (on Saturday at the absolute latest), and print the application form from our website.

The AGM time (1:00 Sunday at Cathedral Community Centre) is advertised in the Prairie Dog, and each member should have had a notice emailed to them several weeks ago.

--

On Earth Day, Regina Car Share Co-operative will send a representative to speak at the Regent Place Branch (page 34 33) of the Regina Library.
