NEWS FLASH: S.C.I. RECOMMITS

Last month we announced that Solar Cookers International (SCI), SCIA’s initial legal umbrella,
ceased accepting donations for SCIA, but thanks to the urging of some of you, the SCI Board of
Directors reversed this decision and has restored this option. We thank the Board, as this assures a continued link
to UN consultative status and related advocacy that can open doors for members in country offices of UN agencies. We have also
identified several other potential partners and will continue to explore the best avenues for each of SCIA’s activities.

REMINDER #1: NEXT ELECTION FOR STEERING COMMITTEE

SCIA’s Steering Committee created in Granada was to serve “until the next solar cookers conference” (see below). Please send the
names of people you would like to nominate for SCIA’s Steering Committee.

JANUARY 14-16 SOLAR FOOD CONFERENCE, Indore, India

The January 14-16, 2009 Solar Food Conference in Indore, India is sponsored by The Solar Food Processing Network of the
International Solar Energy Society and hosted by SCIA members Dr. Janak and Jimmy McGilligan’s Barli Development Institute
for Rural Women. Paper and poster presentations will update collective progress. At least a dozen of SCIA’s Founders will attend, and
they promise time for discussions about SCIA’s next steps. For more information see www.solarfood2009.org. If you plan to attend this
conference and could join SCIA discussions please let the Secretariat know (association@solarcookers.org).
