Green Drinks

Don and I have been attending Green Drinks meetings since we found out they existed last year. They are a great place to hobnob with other environmentalists, green business owners, non-profit directors and workers, and other like-minded folks. We were driving to the Culver City, Silver Lake, and Orange County venues (in the veggie car, so somewhat green) for almost a year when it occurred to us that Long Beach is deserving of it's own branch.
Our first meeting was in October, and it was relatively successful, thanks in large part to Sarojni Mehta-Lissak. Sarojni has started an online guide to earth-friendly businesses here in the LBC, Long Beach Green Guide, and has become an unintentional green activist here. She has been so supportive of Fundraising Green, and has also helped us let people know about the new Green Drinks meetings. Through her website listing, we even got some press! The next meeting is Thursday January 24 at the Gaslamp Restaurant, on PCH and Loynes, at 7:00 p.m. I think the article and the new Eastside location might make this the biggest meeting yet! Hope we see you there...
