RE Sources is bringing Green Drinks to Bellingham! Join us at Boundary Bay on Wednesday,September 5th from 5-7 pm to connect with other green thinkers, movers and shakers. Tell all your friends to come, too just look for the reserved tables in the outside beer garden. Green Drinks is an organic networking session that started in London, England and has since caught fire around the world. Like-minded individuals in places from Hong Kong to India, Sweden to South Africa meet every month to catch-up, network and talk about the latest green issues. According to greendrinks.org, These events are very simple and unstructured, but many people have found employment, made friends, developed new ideas, done deals and had moments of serendipity. The best part about Green Drinks is that there is no structure, just good people meeting at a regular place and time. We've chosen Boundary Bay on the first Wednesday of the month for Green Drinks Bellingham so write it on your calendar and come on down! Visit www.greendrinks.org to see the rave reviews from Green Drinkers across the planet!
