Thanks to everyone that showed up yesterday at The Olympic Flame in Berryville. I didn't get a head count, but email sign ups totaled about 35 people. Wow. The response was great, and I think some lessons have been learned.
Lesson 1 - email works. I sent out a few emails to people that know what Green Drinks was all about, and they sent it on. I love the organic nature of personal relationships and how the phrase "pass this on" was taken seriously. Kudos to you for inviting your friends!
Lesson 2 - name tags and email list need to be more clearly marked. I heard from a few of you that it was a little disorienting to come into the bar and have no clue where things were or what was going on. My apologies, and this will be remedied next time.
Lesson 3 - people just want to talk to each other. The video clip about water was informative, but I heard from quite a few of you that you were hoping for an atmosphere more conducive to schmoozing and getting to know everyone and what they do that is green. Duly noted, we'll figure out how to make this happen next month.
I believe that the collective intelligence and influence of this many people in the Valley can, in fact, make our community and our world a better place. (idealist moment over)
If you've got any other feedback, any questions, comments, concerns, ideas, please let me know! I would love for this page, and this group, to be something to which we all contribute. There has already been interest from a few parties that might want to host us next month, and that is great. I'd love to be able to schedule a few months in advance so that we can all arrange our schedules accordingly and invite as many friends and associates as possible.
Here's to greening our community!
