We truly appreciated Angelo\u0092s help at installations and in the office in the fall. &#8220;It was great to get some real life experience working in the solar industry, both in the office learning the design process and helping at installs too. It will definitely help me in the future with my career in solar,&#8221; said Angelo, who is now volunteering with GRID Alternatives Bay Area office to get more experience.<\/p>\n<p>Hearty congratulations also to our volunteers who have recently been hired in the solar industry, including: Team Leaders Jimmy Adauto, James Hitchler, Steve Brown, Bill Wollenzier, Carmen Valles, Pete Hernandez, and Francisco Rosas. Special shout out to Jeff Apoian, Roof Team Leader extraordinaire, who just recently joined GRID IE as our Solar Corps Construction Associate for 1 year! And we\u0092d like to recognize Harold Stonier, Jenny Le, Trini Shrinarine, and Ruben Trigueros for starting their own solar business, Burning Day Light Solar.<\/p>\n<p>In appreciation of our volunteers and their accomplishments, GRID IE is hosting a very special<strong> Volunteer Appreciation Day on Saturday, February 9, 2013.<\/strong> Join us for some food and drinks, and camaraderie and a jolly time! We\u0092ll also be giving away awards and prizes to our volunteers. Space is limited, so RSVP <a href=\"http:\/\/gridievolunteerappreciation2013.eventbrite.com\/\">here <\/a>today!<\/p>\n<p>Once more, <strong>THANK YOU<\/strong> to all our volunteers and job trainees!
