Major Endorsements for The GENI Initiative
GENI Exhibition at Rotary International Convention

Dear GENI Friend,

The GENI Initiative received two very exciting endorsements this month. For years, we have attended conferences, written articles, exhibited internationally -- all to provide a credible foundation for the project. Your support enabled this persistence. Thank you.

Now you can include former United Nations Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali as a GENI partner! You may recall that Walter Hickel, ex-Governor of Alaska, spoke personally with Mr. Boutros-Ghali in 1994. In Gov. Hickel's presentation Why war, why not big projects?, he said we need to actually build peace. He called the linking of power systems to renewable energy resources to be a premier strategy for world peace.

Another very important endorsement came in from Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, Director of the Tata Energy Research Institute. While he's not as well known, Dr. Pachauri has a tremendous global reputation in the World Energy Council. Tata is a huge conglomerate in India -- so now we can have a stronger influence in that region of the world.

We have some more exciting news! GENI will be exhibiting at the Rotary International Convention in Indianapolis (June 15-17). The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club (San Diego, CA) is our sponsor. 25,000 Rotarians from 150 nations will be gathering -- almost a mini United Nations. However, in this case the ambassadors are business leaders from around the world who have a commitment to improving the human condition.

In partnership for the planet,

Peter Meisen
President

p.s. Why not write your own endorsement of The GENI Initiative, and send it to us?

p.p.s We do require some additional funding for the Rotary International Exhibit (in just six weeks). Your contribution will have tremendous leverage, and help us cover some extra printing and exhibit fees.
