Wednesday, Feb. 23
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
The Rockfish Raw Bar & Grill
400 Sixth Street, Eastport, Annapolis  

 

 

  

That's right ... we've been getting together now for FIVE years!There have been countless new faces, but also so many from our first get-togethers at Rockfish - 15 or 20 of us are still regular Green Drinkers! We used to go around the room, introduce ourselves and tell what eco projects we were up to. When the intros were taking an hour and 1/2 we thought it was time to change the format. Now we make announcements and count on you to introduce yourselves and network.    

 

So yes, we will be celebrating the success of the "fun side of eco-awareness...making serious connections!" And, of course we're returning to where it all started for us in 2006. See the very first sign-in sheet on our website. Were you there? Tell us when you come in so you can claim your "badge of honor!"

 

Chef Sean will delight us with some special sustainable appetizers and all poured drinks during our event will be offered for $1 off. And there will be a selection of organic wines at the bar. The Rockfish is giving us some gift certificates that we will raffle.    

 

Read about The Rockfish's sustainable initiatives. 

 

Stay for dinner! The Rockfish will offer Green Drinkers 10% off your entire check ordered(includes drinks) from the regular menu for dinner the night of our event. And it's Annapolis Restaurant Week (see column on the left). The Rockfish is one of the particiipating restaurants so they'll have a special three-course menu for just $29.95.
