Thank You, Café Mezzanotte!
"The Mezz," in Severna Park, was our gracious host at the last Green Drinks on May 27. We would like to extend a very late, but very heartfelt, thank you to owner Tommie Koukoulis for his hospitality and amazing appetizers that were really a full meal. His big news that night was that The Mezz was starting a "Revolution" by going Green in all aspects of operations and food. That includes no GMO. Here is their pledge: "We promise to prepare, whenever possible, all of our foods with locally sourced, sustainably grown or raised, and/or certified organic ingredients." We'd like to take a little credit for helping The Mezz on its Green journey. Way to go! Now let's all support this fabulous restaurant. Click here for the menu and more information.And a big thank you to our May event sponsor, the Chesapeake Conservancy. The Conservancy's mission is to strengthen the connection between people and the watershed, conserve the landscapes and special places that sustain the Chesapeake's unique natural and cultural resources, and encourage the exploration and celebration of the Chesapeake as a national treasure. Check our their website and the Ospreycam and follow the lives of parents Tom & Audrey and chicks Breezy & Spitz!And finally, thank you to the representatives of the river organizations who brought their information to Green Drinks. Our theme that night was "It's All About the Rivers," and these organizations had plenty to teach us:
They all do great work, in the field, where it counts!

Our Professional Lacrosse Team!The Chesapeake Bayhawks
Have you been to a Bayhawks game? It's non-stop action right here in our backyard... played at the Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
 The Bayhawks give a lot back to our community and the July 31 game is no exception. It will be Go Green Night! As they play against the Denver Outlaws, starting at 7:30 p.m., the team will stress the importance of being kind to the environment and part of the ticket sales will benefit Annapolis Green.  And in keeping with the momentum started the previous Thursday at "Do Good. Have Fun." (where rumor has it there just might be a visit by mascot Hawk-Eye and the Hawkettes cheerleaders) fans can continue to enjoy Bud Light beverages at the Bud Light Zone on the field. Bayhawks games are a blast! Come out and cheer for our hometown team! We'll have more info at Green Drinks, and maybe even a visit by mascot Hawk-Eye and the Hawkettes cheerleaders!
