NEW DATE
Unexpected construction at the Waste Management Materials Reclamation Facility caused us to reschedule this tour.
Now we'll Talk Trash in September. Have you ever wondered where that bottle you put in the recycling bin goes? Here's your chance to see the facility where all our recycling is processed. It's an incredible operation. The sheer numbers will blow you away.

Waste Management's Materials Reclamation Facility

Tuesday, July 19
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
3218 Harness Creek Road, Annapolis
Theme
Drink Local. Eat Local. Support Local.
Event Sponsor
We're both outside and inside and ready for a beautiful evening at Great Frogs Winery today. May storms stay away! Join us from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. and enjoy a tasting of Great Frogs' terrific varieties plus farm-to-table organic appetizers from La Prima Food Group and Groundworks Farm. Great Frogs is, literally, just minutes from downtown Annapolis. From Forest Drive turn south onto Spa Road and then make a left on Harness Creek Road and the winery is just ahead, on the right. Just look for the Big Green Frog -- which is, coincidentally, the mascot of our event sponsor, Blades of Green. We are to celebrating the upcoming Buy Local Challenge Week (July 23-31). Hence our theme: Drink Local. Eat Local. Support Local. See the sidebar. With regard to wine, you can't get much more local than Great Frogs Winery.  And, July 22-31 - is Maryland Wine Week, a celebration of Maryland wine, hard cider and mead produced by the 75+ wineries throughout Maryland! Drink Maryland wine and "Become a Locapour!" Wine Tasting
An all-inclusive night awaits Green Drinkers. Admission to our event is $25, and that includes not only a tasting of Great Frogs' terrific wines, but also a full glass of the variety of your choice ( you can keep the souvenir glass), and a fabulous farm to table, organic, light appetizers buffet from La Prima Food Group, known for its award-winning catered events with environmentally friendly fare. The food comes from USDA Organic Certified Groundworks Farm.
Here's the menu: Avocado Corn Salsa Cups, Veggie and Fruit Rollups, Tuna and Squash Carpaccio, and Blueberry Pavlova, all served on compostable service ware.
The wine tasting consists of seven Premium Wines, finishing with a full glass of your choice and souvenir Great Frogs Glass! $25 is the usual cost per person for Great Frogs tastings (without food) so this is a great value.
We will have a limited amount of free non-alcoholic drinks available as well but the admission charge will apply as we are serving appetizers.
Winemakers Nate and Andrea O'Shea will donate a portion of the $25 charge back to Annapolis Green!
And please, buy more -- by the bottle or glass! After all, we want to support our host while we enjoy wonderful wine! Come see where we got the idea for the stave walls - right in the beautiful Great Frogs tasting room.
Event Sponsor
 Our event is sponsored by Blades of Green True Organic lawn & pest control. The local company demonstrates that you can keep your yard beautiful AND your family safe from pests without poisoning the Earth. Blades of Green is a locally owned and operated lawn care and pest control company in the Annapolis area that has been servicing homes and businesses for over 25 years and is our newest Founding One Hundred supporter!
Want more details on tonight's event? Check out our website.
No dogs, please. Let Great Frogs' vineyard dogs rule the roost!
And, as we strive to do at other area events and festivals - please help us make this a responsible event - we'll be recycling and composting, drinking from REAL glasses, drinking and eating local at one of our terrific local businesses!
PLEASE CARPOOL if you can. See you tonight!

Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast
A ZERO-Waste Event
Friday, August 5Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium
5 - 8 p.m.
volunteers needed
for composting & recycling initiative
 Would you like to be part of the biggest ZERO-Waste event in our area? Make a difference by joining Rotarians and Annapolis Green as a volunteer to help 2500 hungry crab feasters do the right thing by recycling & composting tons (Really, tons!) at this iconic event, now in its 71st year! In exchange you'll get to eat crabs, corn on the cob, watermelon, and more... and you'll have a great time too. Contact us to volunteer. At the 71st Annual Annapolis Rotary Crab Feast we'll make sure that shells, watermelon rinds, corn cobs, trays, cups, and paper goods are collected and composted. Within two months that waste material will turn into beautiful, sweet-smelling compost ready to make gardens beautiful! Beverage containers will be recycled and nothing will go to the landfill. We are also seeking companies that want to associate their brands with our REF composting and recycling effort. Contact us for more information.For more about the crab feast, click here.
