Based on a true story.

Always…Patsy Cline is a delightful musical about friendship, country music and a brilliant artist who left us all too soon. More than a tribute to the legendary country singer who died tragically at age 30 in a plane crash in 1963, Always…Patsy Cline is a true story about Cline’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, who befriended the star in a Texas honky-tonk in 1961 and continued a correspondence with Cline until her death.

The musical play, complete with down-home country humor, poignant tales of life on the road and even some audience participation, includes many of Patsy’s unforgettable hits such as Crazy, I Fall to Pieces, Sweet Dreams and Walking After Midnight — 27 songs in all!  The show’s title was inspired by Cline’s letters to Seger, which were consistently signed “Love ALWAYS… Patsy Cline.”

Learn the basics of installing rooftop solar energy systems by volunteering with SunWork. This 3-hour classroom training session teaches the basics of rooftop solar, solar equipment, electricity, and construction safety. Afterwards, volunteers are eligible to participate on solar installations on the Central Coast working together with SunWork’s professional staff, attaching racking, running conduit, hanging inverters, and mounting the solar panels that make a system tick.

This volunteer solar orientation is a great opportunity to learn about clean renewable energy. Some of our volunteers leverage this experience toward a career in solar or to do an installation on their own homes. This orientation session is indoors in a classroom setting.

Homeowners can learn about the basics of rooftop solar energy in this free seminar from SunWork. SunWork is a nonprofit that helps homeowners that have low electricity bills (typically less than $100/month) take advantage of solar energy affordably. Our volunteer model enables SunWork to save homeowners about 30% compared to other commercial options. We make small solar affordable.

In this free seminar, you’ll gain an understanding of the economics of solar, the technology options, how you get credit from PG&E for energy that you send back to the grid with net metering, and solar purchasing tips.

Come learn how you can save money and generate clean renewable solar energy!
