Ice Cream Social - TONIGHT!   
 

Green Drinks logo

It's been hot this summer, so in August we're changing things up:  Prince George's Green Drinks & Community Forklift are hosting an Ice Cream Social! 

 

Where: the meeting room at Jason's Deli, 7356 Baltimore Ave, College Park, MD 20740 

   

When:  Tues. August 7th 5:30 PM-7:30 PM

  

Why:  Did you know that there are over 70 green businesses in Prince George's County?  We've also got countless watershed volunteers, environmental clubs, activists, nature lovers, and Forklift Fans. Let's get to know each other!

 

RSVP or find more info at the Prince George's County Green Drinks Facebook Page

 

FIRST- TIME GREEN DRINKER?  Don't be shy, just come on in and look for the folks with the nametags. Look for Bea or Kelsey (they'll be wearing the green hardhats), and they'll introduce you around.

A HUGE thanks to our first guest facilitator, Jenny Marsh who led a mosaic stepping stone workshop on July 28th.  Everyone had a lot of fun!
 
Are YOU interested in sharing a skill 
with fellow Forklift Fans?
 
Do you know a trade?  Perhaps all your friends turn to you for advice about bargain-hunting, decorating, or repurposing old stuff? 
Please email Bea(at)CommunityForklift.com with a bit of info about yourself, the workshop you'd like to lead, and your availability.  We plan to make the how-to workshops a monthly event at the warehouse!
