Bill Jacobs Chevrolet in Joliet, IL was the drop-off point for the Chevrolet Tahoe for the Chevrolet Homerun Moms promotion. Our winner was one of 3 that won not only a Tahoe for a week (5/23-5/30) but 4 tickets to her choice of a Cubs or Sox game (She chose a Cubs game in September) ,and an entry into the clinic for her grandkids to train at the Wrigley Field Clinic ran by Chevrolet. She chose from a Chevrolet Tahoe, Traverse, Volt and a Malibu.

    

One of the members of the Crest Hill Baseball Organization submitted a wonderful letter nominating Donna Marshall for the Baseball Mom contest. She then was notified on Mother’s Day she had won!

    

The 2012 Chevy Youth Baseball Program has worked with us giving us a $500 check to donate to a local baseball team as well as 10 tees, 10 ball buckets, 10 equipment bags, 120 whiffle balls, a hitting net, and 150 T-shirts. The team then is given raffle tickets that they can sell for whatever price they wish. This money goes directly to the organization. The tickets then get filled out and come back to us to submit to Chevy. The drawing is for either a Chevy Cruze or a Chevy Equinox. There is also a second place entertainment system that included a flat TV and a Blu-ray player.

Whenever I tell someone that the Chevy VOLT is a "Plug-in Hybrid" they'll come back with "Oh, like a Prius". So I find myself explaining that there is a big difference.

 

So, I came across this "Electric" badge to stick to the hatch lid under the "Volt" name plate. Hopefully it will get the message out there that the VOLT is indeed an electric car.

I got the MyChevrolet app up and running on my iPhone and found this bit of information. I purchased the car second hand with just under 30k miles on it. It will be interesting to revisit these statistics in a year or so to see how much my experience changes it.

The company provides electricity to all of New England, so, naturally, they provide a charging station for those with electric cars. Most of their employees still drive gas guzzlers and resent the suck-ups getting special perks, so they have to pay $0.12 and hour.

Two of my many favorite pastimes…. driving my electric car and flying my quadcopter. I noticed on the PLUGSHARE app that there are Level 2 car chargers at the Red Run Mennonite Church so I swung by to check them out. As luck would have it, there was a nice wide open field right next to the parking lot so I brought out my DJI SPARK and took it for a spin. Captured some aerial images while I was at it.

 

Frankly, I was impressed with what the R.R.M.C. has done. Not only were they up with the times by having FOUR chargers but I noticed solar panels on the roof.

 

I visited the R.R.M.C. website when I got home and enjoyed reading about how they came to be on this particular site. It’s an interesting read, here is a link…. redrunmc.wordpress.com/history/

 

Thank you R.R.M.C.
