Green Drinks: Eastern Panhandle!
YOU ARE INVITED TO
GREEN DRINKS of the EASTERN PANHANDLE
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
6 pm @ Craftworks
Every month we meet at a location in the Eastern Panhandle to interact with people who work in, or are interested in, the environmental field. This is an informal world-wide organization known as Green Drinks. These events are simple and relatively unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals, and have had moments of serendipity.....all in the spirit of greening our lives for the betterment of all humankind.
Chad Gauthier of Pinnacle Enterprises and Karen Valentine of GoGreenGals are the co-founders of this chapter. We look forward to sharing our commitment to a healthy, productive, and sustainable Eastern Panhandle with all of you. Our goal is to unite the community to embrace responsible, local, and environmentally sustainable lifestyles. So come and join us for some healthy organic apps and drinks. On behalf of us both, we look forward to meeting you and joining forces to green the Panhandle!
Join Green Drinks for refreshments on the deck overlooking Cool Spring Marsh and Bullskin Run, and learn about this unique new resource for Jefferson County.
CraftWorks at Cool Spring is a center for creative learning in art, craft, nature and sustainable living that supports protection of the Cool Spring Marsh landscape, where people come to learn, relax and rejuvenate in a setting that fosters deep connections with the natural environment and stronger communities.
What's truly distinctive about CraftWorks is that it invites artisans, environmental educators, green builders, and other creative people into create and offer classes, gather, retreat, and help invent the long-term future of this resource.
CraftWorks director David Lillard will take Green Drinkers on a short 15-minute walk through the grounds and describe the plans for studios and programs.
Refreshments provided by CraftWorks; donations to offset costs warmly appreciated.
Directions to CraftWorks. We'll meet at Mrs. Thornton's cottage.
Take Route 340 south from Charles Town. After you pass Washington High, the 4 lane highway ends and it becomes a two lane road. Soon you’ll pass a diner on the right, a produce stand on the left and you’ll make a SHARP right hand turn immediately after the diner onto Wheatland Road (WVA Rd 340/2)
Continue on Wheatland until it deadends (about 2 miles)—turn right (Lloyd Road). The first house on the left is Mrs. Thornton’s Cottage. The second entry on the left is Cool Spring Farm (has a sign and a split rail fence)—turn in, then turn left to follow the sign to the cottage.
Note: If you use Mapquest for directions, Lloyd Road is called by its old name Haines Road
