Hello Fellow Green Drinkers:
Happy New Year! Our apologies for the brief hiatus over the holiday season. Thanks to those of you who provided your thoughts and insight for 2015 Green Drinks on this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C766GS7. If you haven’t provided your input, it’s not too late.
One of the recommendations was to advertise the details about Green Drinks sooner. Taking that wonderful idea to heart, we’ve lined up events for the next five months. Please place these on your calendar–we hope to see you on Green Drink Thursdays! And of course, if you have ideas for future Green Drinks, don’t hesitate to let Brian or Emily know.
