Green Drinks February

Green Drinks Northern Shenandoah Valley!

Where? Camino Real in Berryville (in their new bar upstairs! They've got a pool table!)

When? February 26th at 5:30ish

Why? Chips and salsa! And Juliet Mackay-Smith from Locke Store in Millwood is going to tell us more about local food, how to get it and why its important to think about what we eat.


Get directions here

Invite your friends (and your family, and your neighbors, and your friend's friends, and people that aren't your friends), we'll see you there!

So what is Green Drinks? It's a grassroots networking opportunity. Nothing fancy, no membership required, no cover charge, just a cash bar, a bunch of eco-minded people, and conversation. From Automobiles and Buildings to Recycling and Watersheds and every topic in between, we'll be talking about all things green. Who goes? YOU and all of your friends! We're hoping that this will be an informal way to meet and engage other like minded individuals in the area. Everyone from every profession and of every age is invited, so please, spread the word. (and just because it's called Green Drinks doesn't mean you have to drink)

Have a great green day!

Greening the Valley one conversation at a time,

If you've got a great idea for a future topic, would like to speak or would like to sponsor an event, please email me. I'd love for Green Drinks NSV to grow into a vibrant local community of green minded people sharing information and spreading the word on how to make our community more sustainable. Thanks!

Webinar about Skin Care

Sent from Valerie who always has such interesting news. I had no idea about some of this stuff.... now I want to go toss a bunch of my cosmetics!

----
I wanted to pass along to you this link to a webinar that ONEgroup presented on organics & sustainability and greenwashing in personal care products. I thought that you would be interested in it personally, and that it might be something to present in part at Green Drinks for discussion.
Additionally, there is an opportunity for anyone interested in getting their product/company in front of customers and representatives connected with ONEgroup. (there are forms about) sponsorship information and nomination form. Please feel free to pass it along and/or have individuals contact me if they are interested. (if you want these forms, please email Valerie)
