Green Drinks! Thursday, December 18th

Happy Holidays!

During this wonderful season of giving, we would like to give any new guest at Green Drinks this Thursday, December 18th, a cookie (Alex and Linda make the best chocolate chip cookies ever!) and a free book! We would love for some new faces with fresh perspectives. Please join us as we celebrate the winter solstice (a few days early, but that's ok!) at Kavarna.

On another note, the UWGB Green Drinks has changed meetings from the first Friday of the month to the first Monday of the month.

And finally, we are starting a green books club! The first book is Hot, Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman. We will meet the second Wednesday of every month at Kavarna, with our first meeting January 14th at 6 pm. Please feel free to join us if you can and don't feel pressured to read the entire thing at once - we will be reading one book over two months time.

Hope to see you Thursday!

Green Bay, WI Green Drinks

Don't Forget - TWO GREEN DRINKS LOCATIONS IN GREEN BAY!
Green Bay Green Drinks Downtown is a monthly 'social gathering' of environmentalists. We meet every third Thursday of the month at Kavarna Coffeehouse, on Broadway.

We start to gather shortly after 6pm, but don't worry if you can't show up until much later. Peak attendance has been 7:30-8:30pm so far. The hours you attend will influence who you may meet, however. People come and go all evening until Kavarna closes at 10pm. Kavarna is a smokefree vegetarian coffeehouse/restaurant that sells bottled beers and wine. Soups, salads, chai and juices are among the many other offerings. All ages welcome. Feel free to bring your kids.

UW-Green Bay Green Drinks is the same, only it's held out at UW-Green Bay the first Monday of every month at the Common Grounds Coffee House. We begin around 6 pm and end around 9 pm.

If some people suggest that "green" is your middle name, you'll probably find value in Green Drinks Green Bay. At this monthly event, people who have a passion for anything "environmental" meet for friendly conversation. Since we started in April 2005, we've been visited by folks with a wide variety of interests: science, art, politics, music, film, health, psychology, nutrition to name a few. Many work in an environmental field as professionals, educators, entrepreneurs or neighborhood activists. You never know who will be there! If you look elsewhere on the website http://www.greendrinks.org/ , you'll see that "Green Drinks" is an international movement.

See http://www.kavarna.com/ for directions to Kavarna at 112 S. Broadway, located on downtown Green Bay's near west side. See http://www.uwgb.com/ for directions to Common Grounds on the UW-Green Bay campus.

Look for the group with a pile of books on the table. First-timers get a free book! Also, please let Crystal (email below) know that you would like to be added to the email reiminder list.
