Buy a Lady a Drink

We were proud to have called attention to the importance of clean water -- both locally and globally -- at Green Drinks a couple of weeks ago when our theme was It's All About the Water.
 
Thanks to Neal Katcef, all Green Drinkers left our event with a beautiful Stella Chalice. Chalices were being sold as a way to raise funds for Buy a Lady a Drink, but they are sold out now for the moment.

If you took home a chalice at Green Drinks, why not make a donation of $12 to water.org as a way to pay for it and to do
your bit for the women who endure such a hardship to obtain what we take for granted -- clean water.

At the last Green Drinks we called attention to the importance of clean water -- both locally and globally. In May, we'll be looking at how Climate Change is going to alter our relationship with water in a different way, right here at home.

Sea level rise -- it's coming -- and our city is planning for it now.

Chart House Restaurant

300 Second Street, Annapolis
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

The beautifully renovated Chart House will host our event, right on the water, overlooking Spa Creek.

Officials from the City's Emergency Management office will join us along with the Climate Stewards of Greater Annapolis. And we will all learn about the City's Cultural Resource Hazard Mitigation Plan.

We will have more details soon. Save the date!
Elvia & Lynne
As part of our Responsible Events and Festivals program, Annapolis Green, with sponsorship from SolarCity, is providing composting bins this weekend for the Parole Rotary's BarBAYq competitors to reduce the event's environmental footprint.

We expect hundreds of pounds of meat, bones, veggies and condiments to be kept out of the landfill by BBQ competitors and composted by Veteran Compost to produce "Great Pork BBQ Dirt" for local gardens!

Check out this story in Eye on Annapolis about Parole Rotary's great Green initiatives. 

Read below for more info about how YOU can Make the Right Call and be a REF sponsor too! 
Hit the Road with Annapolis Green!

Elvia leased a Mercedes Benz b-class all-electric car and we'd like to use it to make some money to support Annapolis Green as we do our bit to reduce greenhouse gases by driving totally emission-free.

We're going to wrap the car with a graphic about driving electric and with the logos of supporting organizations to show the community how they support our efforts to unite behind actions that are good for the Earth. Let us be your mobile ad platform! Contact us to get the "wrap" on the car and on our marketing benefits.
Join Our Growing List of Sponsors Helping Us Green Area Events! 
 

Responsible Events & Festivals, our festival greening program (The Green REF), is getting to be well-known. Planners of regattas, foot races, rowing races, and more, are now asking us to help Green their events. Find out how we can help and how your organization can be involved. 
 
Our REF program is based on sponsorship.

We look for companies - in any sort of business - that would like to Make the Right Call and connect their brands to our recycling and composting educational efforts.

Sponsorship makes it possible to cover the expenses associated with making these good things happen! If you know of a company that might like to be a part of this exciting program, please contact us AND them. Tell them why you support Annapolis Green, put them in touch with us and we'll do the rest.


We also welcome corporate volunteers who can help us with set-up and break-down at REF events. A REF event could be a great team-building initiative for your company.

Together, let's turn the tide and make this Festival Season a Green one!
