Ê
Our most popular and most attended meeting this year was in August when the 
Toyota Motor Sales in Cincinnati gave an Overview of Toyota Hybrid Synergy 
Drive along with a preview of the Toyota Highlander hybrid vehicle in August.Ê 
This meeting drew a lot of interest with ToyotaÕs hybrid vehicle production 
expansion in central Kentucky.
Ê
The Lexington Section has sent out meeting announcements using the IEEE e-notice 
since April with great success as we have reached members that have never attended 
our meetings before.
Ê
We will hold two more meetings this year for the general membership; one technical 
meeting and one social meeting.Ê Our social meeting will be a joint Holiday 
celebration with the Louisville Section.
Ê
We continue to strive forÉ more volunteer participation and membership development 
and are still looking at the possibility of establishing a GOLD society and/or 
technical society in our area.Ê
