Next Meeting: Jan-06-2022,  Mark Riffey and Alexia Retallack of Pioneer Community Energy
Pioneer Community Energy is now the default energy provider for our county, which means customers will be automatically enrolled to ensure everyone has fair and equal access to Pioneer benefits - and then customers choose to allow the enrollment or remain with PG&E.  What does Pioneer do for its customers?  Our community?  Pioneer Community Energy Director of Customer Service and Communications Mark Riffey, and Program Specialist II Alexia Retallack will speak about this especially important topic as well as discuss choices for our future energy providers.
 
Mark Riffey joined Pioneer in 2021. He has worked in the industry for over 23 years, including 16 years at Roseville Electric Utility. He has extensive experience in providing exemplary customer service and customer program development.
 
Alexia Retallack has been with Pioneer Community Energy since its inception in 2017. She brings extensive communications, regulatory, and customer service experience. In her spare time, she supports a number of non-profits in her community and serves as a Placer County Fish and Game Commissioner for District 5.
Last Meeting: Dec-16-2021, Jim Pelley, Laughter Works Seminars
Jim Pelley is Director of Laughter Works Seminars. A professional speaker for the past 34 years he has taught people how to put more humor and creativity in their lives to become more creative, more productive, and less stressed!  
 
Jim told us that fun changes you, physiologically and psychologically.  His seminars are to teach the value of humor in a business setting, while engendering laughter among the audience.  A couple of his jokes were about air travel.  As he is entering a plane, he touches the outer fuselage and says, "Is that a crack?"  To help ensure that an empty middle seat next to you stays empty, when you see a boarding passenger is eyeing that seat, you touch it and say, "Yes, it's still wet."

Jim believes that it is a choice to have fun...

James Webb Space Telescope Presentation and Launch
On December 11, there was a presentation about the impending launch of the James Webb Space Telescope near the Community Observatory (at Building L of the EDC Office of Education) by Tim Pinkney, a NASA ambassador.  In case you missed it, at this YouTube link you can see a recording of that presentation. 
 
The launch itself, delayed until Christmas day (4:20am Pacific Time), was announced by this NASA press release.  There is also an in-depth NASA video distributed on YouTube that describes the telescope in detail and shows the rocket getting into position and the launch, which occurs at about the 1 hour 22 minute point in the over two-hour-long video, which also shows the progress of the flight.  This is a world-wide effort to increase our understanding of the universe.
