GREEN DRINKS - EVERYWHERE!
4:45 PM to 5:00 PM
When Hamilton started its Green Drinks in 2006, it was the 116th city to join. There are now more than 700 cities doing this worldwide - so when you travel, look for a local green drinks near you!
October's Green Drinks has guest speaker Jen Baker of Hamilton Naturalists' Club who will give us a brief "good news story" and tell us about upcoming HNC hikes, walks, and events that you can enjoy!
Green Drinks is a jovial mix of environmental professionals and people interested in the environment who gather at a local watering hole and spend a relaxed and (often) agenda-free evening of enviro-meeting and greeting.
Who:
Workers in the environmental field, NGOs, academia, government, volunteers, concerned citizens and business people will meet for a beer at an informal venue called Green Drinks. It’s a great way of catching up with people you know and also for making new contacts. Everyone invites someone else along, so there will always be new faces in the crowd
How:
Show up at the pub and say “is this green drinks?” and we will look after you and introduce you to whoever is there. Mingling goes until you say stop!
It's a fun way to meet up with like-minded individuals. Many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, been inspired, done deals, and had moments of serendipity. It’s a force for good.
RSVPs are appreciated - send RSVPs and comments to info@hamiltoneconet.ca
Reminder:
To get onto the email circulation list, send an email to info@hamiltoneconet.ca. This email list is ONLY for Green Drink reminders – nothing else.
Spread the word:
Feel free to bring along friends and colleagues!
Green Drinks is active in 116 cities across the world! To see pictures of the Hamilton Green Drinks events visit www.greendrinks.org.
