2014 Michigan Energy Fair Program by mary bigelow

GLREA’s 2014 Board of Directors welcomes you to the 14th Annual Michigan Energy Fair! The Michigan Energy Fair layed roots 14 years ago from a seed planted to create a positive future for Michigan and our neighboring states which surround the Great Lakes. During the past 14 years, thousands have come together each summer at the fair to learn about renewable energy, energy efficiency and other practices which lead to a sustainable lifestyle. During the past 14 years, relationships have been forged, businesses have grown and a sense of community has surrounded the fair attendees and exhibitors. Michigan has a growing economy in renewable energy and energy efficiency. During the past 14 years, Michigan joined many other states in passing a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). GLREA members and the MEF were key players in the success of the RPS enactment. As part of the RPS, Michigan’s Net Metering program was revised and is more beneficial to electric customers and their contribution to the grid. The efforts of volunteers and members have brought the energy fair to Michigan. Without the heart and soul of generous members and partner organizations, the MEF would not succeed and the efforts would be in vain. The 2014 Board of Directors wishes to express sincere thanks to the many, many volunteers, members and businesses who spend countless hours each year to make the fair possible and bring invaluable training and education to the public. In Michigan’s ever changing environment, the BOD believes our role in the changing energy environment nationwide, but especially in Michigan, is more important daily. GLREA’s BOD dedicates the 2014 MEF to today’s children, our future leaders. May we educate them to overcome the damages prior generations have caused to our environment and educate them so they can employ new, cleaner technologies, disregarding politics and to simply do what is right to sustain. Enjoy the fair! 2014 GLREA BOD

Scholarship Drawing The GLREA Board of Directors has dedicated this 14th Annual Michigan Energy Fair to the younger generation. We have a new generation of thinkers. This new generation has brilliant thoughts about how we as a society can progress and move forward and seek out new ways to fuel our society. Saving energy and harnessing new technology to fuel our society. The law of conservation says: Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one state to another. GLREA Members believe the same about today’s youth. They can be enhanced, and are one of the best investments we can make. The GLREA Board of Directors voted in 2014 to hold the first annual scholarship drawing which would support the youth of today in creating the endeavors of tomorrow. At least 14 GLREA members and friends came together to make it possible for GLREA to award 10 $500 scholarships at the 14th Annual Michigan Energy Fair. At least 54 of Michigan’s brightest high school graduates have been nomitated by STEM teachers for the first annual Michigan Energy Fair Scholarhip Drawing. These students received nominations due to their diligence in studies and committment to furthering their STEM education. Each of these students will be awarded a GLREA membership. Each of these students will have the support of GLREA as they continue their studies. On Saturday June 28, there will be a drawing in which 10 of these students are awarded a $500 scholarship to be applied to their tuition bill at their choice of higher education. It is our hope that through donations GLREA is able to award 20 such scholarships at the 15th annual Michigan Energy Fair in 2015. Please consider a donation to our 2015 scholarship fund. To our donors, thank you for believing in our youth. They are our hope for tomorrow.

His work has been covered by The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, Forbes, National Geographic, Smithsonian, The Today Show, Good Morning America, All Things Considered, and numerous other major media.

A fourth generation nurseryman with four decades experience in supplying landscape trees for the national market, Milarch seeks to revitalize stressed urban and watershed forests with selected, robust strains. He has propagated more than 90 species, including the tallest redwoods and the oldest bristlecone pines. His plantings grace campuses, botanical gardens, and public spaces from coast to coast, from the U.S. Capitol grounds to the Ford Motor Company headquarters to the Olympics venues in Salt Lake City. Milarch holds the Garden Clubs of America Distinguished Service Award, the National Conservation Medal from the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Grant Thornton Leader and Innovator award from Lawrence Technological University.
