His interest in environmental issues was rekindled when he attended Al Gore’s Climate Reality Corps in 2017. Now retired from a long IT career\, Raymond pursues his passion by spending much of his time researching and advocating for EVs and climate change solutions. \nAdmission is free\, refreshments will be served and people of all ages are invited to attend. \nQuestions & Suggestions?
