Happy May Day!

Earth Day flew by! We enjoyed getting out to the many community events in April, and thank you to those joined our Earth Day event last weekend. Our group picked up over 100 pounds of litter in SE Portland. Don't worry if you missed it, we have many great events this spring where you can connect, learn, and share solar stories.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?

Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"

May is Oregon Wine month, and Solar Oregon is celebrating with some great events this week. Today, we invite you to the Solar Social at Place to B at 5:30pm. Register to reserve your spot now.

Our Annual Solar Wine Tour is this Saturday, May 4th, and you can learn more below.
