Thanks to Dena Stevens for writing about Green Drinks! Dena said,
"This is a social group of like minded people who are concerned about the environment. "
I was interested and checked it out. I wanted to attend one! Unfortunately, I didn't find a Green Drinks Chapter in West Michigan....UNTIL NOW!!!
Mark your calenders West Michigan!
We will be having our first West Michigan Green Drinks International
November 14, 2007 from 6 - 8 pm (sorry deer hunters!) The first Wednesday was our original choice until I realized it conflicted with the USGBC GreenBuild 2007 Conference in Chicago.
What a Conundrum!!!
We can't compete with that!
Opening day for rifle deer hunting in Michigan is November 15 - a "State" holiday for many. Deer hunters, you will have time to stop by and say hello before you head to deer camp! You'll still have plenty of time to get there and plenty to talk about WHEN you get there! Don't forget to say hello to Da Yoopers! (See video if you don't understand!)
Jennifer Alvarado from Great Lakes Renewable Energy Association has promised to attend as many of these as she is able to and she will make it a point to bring some exciting, sustainable people with her!
What better place to promote our theme than the Shamrock Bar & Grill! If you don't know where the Shamrock is you can click my link and get directions from your home or office. Shamrock Bar & Grill is located at 2501 Wilson Ave NW, Walker, Michigan. We chose this location because it is centrally located for professionals from Grand Rapids, Muskegon, GVSU (Allendale), Walker....and so on! AND it just fit our Green Theme really well!
So What do I need you to do to help promote this?
From GreenDrinks.org they recommend you invite 5 of your friends to attend with you!
From the GreenDrinks Website:
"We have a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. Come along and you'll be made welcome. Just say, "are you green?" and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there.It's a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there's always a different crowd, making Green Drinks an organic, self-organising network."
So spread the word West Michigan! Let's do this like only West Michigan Can! and fill the Shamrock to capacity with great people, great fellowship and great ideas!
Please send me an email with your email address so I can get you on our GREEN DRINKS E-Blast! I will be sending out a reminder email with an invite for you to share with your Greenest Friends and also those who have an interest in learning more about ECO Stewardship!
