Teaching English with the Peace Corps

Are you in for an adventure?  Melissa West shared her experiences in Azerbaijan with the Peace Corps.  She taught English for two years in the local school and had lots to share about her daily life. From the school, to shopping, to watching World Cup soccer, we heard some great stories about her time in country.  She also let us know about the process for joining the Peace Corps and shared with us some interesting tidbits from the more mature volunteers.  The Peace Corps website and other information are given in Melissa's notes here.

Looking for Energy Savings?

In this informative class, James Carter and Christian Evans of GreenStreet Energy, a local Cypress company, presented information on ways to save energy.  We learned where to look for savings and what some of the options are to help us save money on our monthly bills and be more comfortable in our homes, especially during the hot summer months.  Also, we learned about tax incentives available for using green technology.
