We're echoing the theme of the Conference & Visitors Bureau's website this month, "Sustainable September," as it focuses on all the wonderful environmental work in which our community is engaged -- from restoration to Green tourism... and us, our Annapolis Green/Green Drinks community! This gives us an opportunity to bring you up to date on lots of different things that have been going on this summer and right now in our town month.
Our host, the O'Callaghan Annapolis Hotel, is super Green, from its Irish roots to its sustainable operations. Its Maryland Green Travel profile page has a summary of its sustainable practices, including waste reduction and energy efficiency. We're taking over the entire first floor of the hotel, including the award-winning John Barry Restaurant for our event.
The CVB website features sections on businesses and organizations, events and other things to do... all with a Green theme. Have a look.
See our website for a preview of the info we'll share on Wednesday. One of our areas of focus is transportation and as a special treat, we'll have an all-electric Tesla Model S for you to ooh and aah over! Wait till you see the rear "jump seat!"
And... we'll share a toast to celebrate the one-year anniversary of our radio program, Living Green in Annapolis on WNAV!
Finally, we'll update you on our Red Right Recycle project at the Annapolis Boat Shows. There are opportunities for businesses to sponsor our efforts. Learn more at Green Drinks.
Our event sponsor is R3 Services. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is what R3 stands for both in mission and services. R3 is a proactive business solutions provider helping to solve security, environment and our community needs all with a single mission. R3 is the business services division of New Horizons Supported Services a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission for over 40 years has been to help employ adults with disabilities. More info at r3services.org.Carpool or walk to Green Drinks if you can, or catch a ride on eCruisers who will be shuttling for our event. And bring your name badge if you have one. It's sure to be a fun evening! Cheers, Elvia & Lynne
