Living Local
That is the Wild Orchid's tag line and their commitment


Join us at The Wild Orchid to experience their commitment to sustainable living, not only in their menus but in their authentic lifestyles.

We are looking forward to the terrific appetizers with which Wild Orchid will surprise us, including meat from Roseda Black Angus Farm in Monkton, Md., via My Butcher & More in Annapolis. And Severn Bank is pleased to sponsor Sweet Treats prepared specially for Green Drinks by the Wild Orchid.

parkParking: The building has free, but limited parking, accessible from the back, on the Spa Road side. Maryland Hall has graciously offered parking for Green Drinkers at one of its lots, just two blocks away. To park at Maryland Hall, turn onto Greenfield Street from Spa Road and park in the first lot of the left. It's a very short walk to the Severn Bank building. See a map on our website.

Thanks to both Severn Bank and The Wild Orchid, we'll have door prize goodies and a raffle for dinner for two!

In addition to providing fabulous appetizers and organic wines, The Wild Orchid will offer Green Drinkers a dinner special.

They are likely to have Wahoo or Flounder on the menu, both caught off the coast of Ocean City.

Severn Bank Green Roof

Severn Savings Bank will provide Green Drinkers with an opportunity to see its eco-friendly Green Roof that captures and absorbs runoff water that would typically challenge our infrastructures and pollute our waterways. It is the largest commercial Green Roof within city limits and is in full bloom. Read more. And as a special treat, Certified Green Roof Expert and local landscaper Matt Ciminelli will be on hand to tell us all about Green Roofs in General.

Volunteers Needed! Want to meet and greet? We could use a few volunteers to act as greeters, especially to help first-time Green Drinkers find their way around. Please send Lynne an email if you can help.
 
See you tomorrow,

Elvia &  Lynne

What is Green Drinks?

Green Drinks is a monthly 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!
