If you’re a Friends of the Falls supporter, it’s likely that you recognize that the beauty and health of our river and that of our city go hand-in-hand, you appreciate the power of setting goals that inspire, and really enjoy discussions about our City’s future.
If so, you may be interested in “Green Drinks Spokane,” an evening billed as “social networking for eco-professionals and others interested in conservation, conversation and/or cocktails” at Downtown’s Brooklyn Nights Pub (GMAP). The next event is set for Tuesday, March 11, and is supposed to continue each second Tuesday of each month through June. (That’s April 8, May 13, and June 10). Drinks and conversations start flowing around 5:30 pm.
Of course it’s a new take on an old idea, but Green Drinks is a bit unique in that no particular group or organization acts as sponsor. Instead, the concept and informal framework is web-based, and is becoming something of a world-wide phenomena - more than 300 communities now host Green Drinks events, and one meeting in Melbourne, Australia reportedly drew 1,500 participants!
Sounds like fun, and since we first heard about it from folks in our City’s planning department, we can only assume we’ll have a few there with direct views on what’s working - and what can be improved - regarding “green” subjects in Spokane!
