Dear <<First Name>>,

I am back from my month of schooling with a fresh perspective and eagerness to engage in the Carsharing community!  Being afforded the time to reflect deeply on Carsharing through my thesis work I feel a renewed sense of appreciation for the intangible community benefits that Carsharing provides including safer streets, healthier people and a sense of belonging.  So hop on board and tell your peer groups why Carsharing is so great for you!
