Theme: Green Roots
Weaving the Past with the Present
for a Sustainable Community
Details to come! |
 Right before Green Drinks gets underway, at 5 p.m., we invite you to a ceremony to mark Annapolis Green's affiliation wth Keep America Beautiful -- the second in Maryland. As of June 23, we will brand our litter prevention, waste reduction & recycling, and beautification efforts under "Keep Annapolis Beautiful." Why are we doing this? The affiliation with Keep America Beautiful will bring proven programs to our area, and funds to carry them out, on a larger scale. Already, as part of the affiliation work, we've researched and discovered a lot of new things about the current state of our community. Learn more at Green Drinks.

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 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.
