Tuesday, July 13
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
St. John's College Hodson Boathouse
College Creek at King George Street
Updated info Below
Tomorrow, rain or shine, we'll rendezvous at the charming Boathouse at St. John's College. Join us for a summer sip and nibble along the living shoreline at St. John's. The room is charming space, reminiscent of an earlier time here in Annapolis.
We're planning a terrific Green Drinks in this wonderful setting on College Creek. Remember the mantra Think Globally, Act Locally? We'll have information on both.
The Boathouse is the ideal venue to highlight the sustainability practices the College has undertaken, including its very successful shoreline restoration. See our website for more about our St. John's speakers including Vice President Barbara Goyette.  Susan Comfort of One Percent for the Planet will talk briefly about how businesses, even small businesses, can do their part by setting aside just 1% of sales for environmental action. Dick Franyo of the Boatyard Bar & Grill does so; maybe you can too. Come hear all about it.
July is also the month to increase our awareness of how important it is for our economy to buy local. This year's Maryland Buy Local Challenge Week runs July 17-25. We'll have the scoop on taking the challenge and how all of us can get engaged.
Appetizers for our event will be provided by bb Bistro and the Bon Appetit Management Company.
Read more on our website about the fabulous appetizers we will enjoy and the sustainable ethic of these two businesses.
 Fine organic wines from the Cono Sur winery in Chile will be provided by Wine Cellars of Annapolis. More about the whites & reds -- including tasting notes -- and the vineyard's organic & sustainable practices is on our website.
As always, we'll have various beers, Anheuser-Busch varieties generously provided by Katcef Brothers. Reminder: You don't have to drink alcohol to join us. We always have soft drinks and water.

What is Green Drinks?
Green Drinks is a monthly (more or less) get-together that gives the environmentally minded a chance to get to know one another in a fun, informal way facilitating connections and working together for a common cause: The Health of the Chesapeake Bay. We are apart of an amazing international group, greendrinks.org, with over 600 like us all around the world. Of course, we think our Annapolis crew is the best! Try visiting other groups while you're on the road. And, it's truly not about the drinks ... those who don't drink alcoholic beverages are welcome too! |
