Celebrating the Great "Green" Outdoors
during National Great Outdoors Month
Be Out There™
Partnering with the National Wildlife Federation
June is National Great Outdoors Month, and we're encouraging you to connect with your environment by getting outdoors because we firmly believe that we are only moved to care for the environment if it is familiar to us... so get outside! Start by attending Green Drinks.
Our event will be held outdoors, along the covered sidewalk at Clock Tower Place on Forest Drive. Our event hosts are:
* My Butcher and More
* Grapes Wine Bar & Wine Cellars of Annapolis
* Wild Bird Center of Annapolis
* Tastings Gourmet Market
* Sweet Hearts Patisserie
Read more about our hosts, our appetizers and drinks on our website.
National Wildlife Federation
As America's largest conservation organization, National Wildlife Federation (NWF) works with more than 4 million members, partners and supporters in communities across the country to inspire Americans to protect wildlife for our children's future. We are fortunate that NWF's Chesapeake Mid-Atlantic Regional Center is right here in Annapolis. The regional office works 
with affiliates and partners across the region to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay; the Appalachian forests, rivers and flyways; and the extensive shoreline and coastal bay habitats of the Mid-Atlantic.
At Green Drinks you'll learn about how you can help the City of Annapolis become a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat, a program of the National Wildlife Federation.You'll also learn about NWF's Great American Backyard Campout, a one-day activity inviting families across America to come together on June 23 and camp in their backyards, local parks and campgrounds to discover a whole other world that lives right in their "backyard."
These are just two of the many activities the NWF's Chesapeake Mid-Atlantic Regional Center is undertaking toward its mission of inspiring Americans to protect wildlife and wild places for our children's future.
Annapolis Green
As we've been telling you, all our momentum with Green Drinks is being captured and harnessed to do so much more as Annapolis Green, the non-profit. And not to worry... Green Drinks will stay just the same!
We've launched our Founding One Hundred program that is helping us get off the ground as a non-profit. (See the column at left.) We're delighted to welcome two more Founders to the list: the Cohen Community Fund and Towne Park! Thank you!
The donation of $1000 may be too steep for some, particularly in these economic times. If that's the case for you but you still want to help Annapolis Green with a smaller donation, we would be most appreciative! Donations $250 and up can be sent to the Annapolis Community Foundation (noting that it is for Annapolis Green) to PO Box 5736, Annapolis MD 21403. That will ensure that the donation is tax deductible. Under $250, please send to Annapolis Green at PO Box 3423, Annapolis MD 21403. We cannot provide a tax deductible receipt for amounts under $250 at this time. Thank you so much for your consideration.
See you next week!
Cheers,
Elvia & Lynne
PS - We debuted our new cork collection box at the last Green Drinks. At every event, bring us your corks... your natural, not plastic corks for recycling.
