greendrinks.philadelphia monthly reminder:
February 6 2008 and New NEWS!

Hello greendrinks.philadelphia Community!

Best of the new year to everyone and we hope you all had a wonderful
holiday season! We wish to welcome all you existing members AND our
new members to a new year of greendrinks.philadelphia monthly green
social get-togethers. We now have 206 members!
We are happy and proud to be part of the global greendrinks.org community.

Also, we're not sure if any of you made it out on Jan 2nd 2008 to the
bar to meet...but....greendrinks.philadelphia just had to take a much
needed break after the holidays and thought many of you
would do the same (seeing that greendrinks was just 48 hrs AFTER
celebrating new year's eve!!! sheesh! )....our apologies for any
confusion if any of you were left standing
there at the bar waiting for our famous official greendrinks.philadelphia
"Hi! My Name is: _____________" sticker...
and the usual warm monthly greendrinks welcome...but, hey- we just
needed a break for goodness sake! (and thanks for your understanding!)

We WILL be meeting again for February 2008 First Wed and would
love to see you all there again so we can catch up with everyone!

Bring your always lively green conversations, networking needs/resources,
and of course, thirst (and hunger) for great
LOCAL drinks + food at our next monthly social get-together at
The Standard Tap. Think Global : Drink Local

_____________________________________
NEW! greendrinks.philadelphia NEWS:

1) Additional greendrinks.philadelphia meeting opportunities brewing!
We may add some new / additional greendrinks meeting sites!
We have received a few inquiries as to whether we can expand/extend
the local greendrinks meeting sites/nites to other locations or on other
nights around town IN ADDITION to the First Wed meeting at the Standard Tap...
we're considering it based on commuting + community needs...but we
WILL need volunteers** to run these new nights/get-togethers...stay tuned
for updates and call for volunteers!

2) greendrinks.philadelphia Goods:
Corny or truly required gear? We have had more than a few folks ask if
they can get a custom greendrinks.philadelphia t-shirt / pint glass / painter's cap
(all organic / eco of course!) to use/wear to greendrinks.philadelphia or
perhaps some other elegant social event....well, due to your demand and
our great networking skills we CAN do it (see the attached logo)
(however, we would need to get enough interest [aka: orders] to
keep the prices low due to quantity and good sourcing!)

The best part of this pending offer is we would LIKE to donate
some of the fund$ gathered from this effort and put it towards
a great non-profit green/eco/organic effort...
you get the goods and some great non-profit effort out there
will get a chunk of these fund$ for their great green/eco work!
We are currently researching possible green donation candidates.
We would like to make our collective green efforts go just a bit
farther and thought you all would too.
(note: we just want to cover our costs for these proposed goods,
the rest will go to some yet to be determined green/eco non-profit)

Interested? Stay tuned for an upcoming ordering sign-up sheet!

3) greendrinks.philadelphia Annual Organizational Meeting
+ **Call for Volunteers:
greendrinks.philadelphia can ALWAYS use some community
INPUT for making this grass-roots effort BETTER and need your
volunteer help/input...
if any of you have any interest in helping out--let us know.

To make it easy, we are going to have a 1 hour
planning/organizational/volunteers meeting at 5pm
JUST before the upcoming Feb 6 greendrinks.

if you can make it-GREAT! if not, no worries!!!
Just contact us and let us know when you can make
it to a greendrinks.philadelphia nite and
we can talk then (we TRULY understand how busy / scheduled
everyone is...us too!); NOTE: we try to organize our nites out/travel
planning as well to keep our eco-footprint under control also
(doing this meeting the same nite as greendrinks REALLY helps!)

4) greendrinks.philadelphia Green Info Summit 2008
[Under Construction]
due to great demand we are STILL trying to get the first
greendrinks.philadelphia Green Info Summit
to become a reality...stay tuned, it's still very much alive!
Guest Speakers + Exact Date TBD!!!
March / April 2008???

menu as upstairs!!!) we will not be moving upstairs
but will rather congregate in the front bar area + tables areas
DOWNSTAIRS ONLY. (thanks in advance!)

We want to get back on track for sharing
whatever green business cards, pamphlets/brochures,
flyers, etc. that you all may like to bring and promote.
We will (try to) have a bit of space available
to lay out any sustainable business or lifestyle
info that you all may bring. We will also take back any
extra literature and bring them to the next greendrinks.philadelphia.
The main thing is just to relax and have a good time.

greendrinks.philadelphia February 07 meeting!

Hi greendrinks.philadelphia folks!

thanks for all your kindness and patience as we
again invite you all to attend our monthly green
grassroots social networking get-togethers over drinks

we're BACK ON for this 1st Wed of the month:

February 7th @ Standard Tap
6pm til 8pm-ish
Standard Tap
2nd Street + Poplar Street
in the Northern Liberties Community
of Philadelphia's Center City

and

we will meet DOWNSTAIRS in the open bar area
and casual dining area (don't fret: it is the SAME
menu as upstairs!!!) we will not be moving upstairs
but will rather congregate in the bar area + tables areas
DOWNSTAIRS ONLY. (thanks in advance!)

AND

Note: until further notice, we need POSTPONE the
greendrinks.philadelphia green guest lecture series until we can get our space needs,
reservation system, and a good day/evening to make our
guest lecture series work in a great way for everyone.

we thought we could just wing it and have it be casual...but we
learned the hard way that we DEFINITELY need a bit more organization
on this type of venture (our sincere apologies again and thanks to you
ALL for your patience and return to greendrinks! do give us another chance!)

greendrinks.philadelphia is beginning working on an idea
of a quarterly or bi-annual greendrinks.philadelphia SUMMIT
event instead where we all get together in a kind of workshop/casual conference
mode > with great drinks + food OF COURSE!
we just need to work out the logistics again >> so stand by for more
info...target date: April May ish of 2007....stand by for more info

in closing, some minimal homework for you greendrinks folks:

we would ask that you bring ONE new friend to our next get together...
a friend, a work colleague, a neighbor, a family member...

just one more attending greendrinks each month and adding to the
great community we are sharing together over some drinks once a month
(drinks can be non-alchoholic beverages too! no problem > we're interested in
the eco-talk that goes with the social networking!)

that's it. thanks much in advance.

see you all Feb 7th at Standard Tap! 6pm!

Start 2007 (again) with greendrinks.philadelphia
January 3!

Hey greendrinks.philadelphia Group!

Happy New Year!
(well, almost)

We just wanted to send a quick reminder to you all
for our next greendrinks monthly get-together happening
first Wednesdays (always)
January 3rd 2007
at Standard Tap at
2nd Street + Poplar Street
in the Northern Liberties
of Philadelphia Center City
www.standardtap.com

This "one green night a month"℠ is a great
chance to meet with friends new + old
to start the new year as green as possible
(uh, you know what we mean)

We had a GREAT kick-off first meeting
last month at Standard Tap! The folks there are VERY
welcoming, serve an AWESOME local brew list,
and truly support local sustainable farms in their
delicious dining menu.

[also, greendrinks.philadelphia learned that in addition
to serving ALL local brews, they compost all their kitchen prep veggie scraps in
the Liberty Lands Community Garden one block north! yeah! ]

And, yes, we know this greendrinks get-together is just a few days AFTER
new year's eve... but, hey, you can handle it! C'mon out
and share your green, organic, sustainable, etc. holiday
survival stories! As with all the greendrinks get-togethers
there are loads of non-alchoholic refreshments available
to support socializing in a straight edge way.

And, as promised in our recent 'Call for Participation' broadcast,
we will be trying out a new format starting this month
where a guest speaker will share some new ideas, philosophy, examples, etc.
to kick-start our social dialogues and networking. We welcome some
really great upcoming speakers (and there is plenty of room left on
the 07 calendar if any other folks wish to guest present in a VERY
informal way (verbal and/or AV). See the attached TENTATIVE
schedule for our 07 Speakers List. We will meet UPSTAIRS to the
left seating area when we have greendrinks Guest Speakers.

So, Walk, Run, Bike, Train, Public Transit, or Carpool to
Standard Tap this coming First Wednesday for our first
event of the new year! Bring a friend, colleague, neighbor,
family member to join in!

best regards for a positive and green start to the new year!

Although we are all totally aware of the seriousness of
environmental challenges facing us currently, we would
like to support and encourage the ideas green visionary
Paul Hawken offers that the approach of hope and positive

INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE

Hello Green Community Philadelphia from [greendrinks] + o2 Philadelphia!

That's right - due to popular demand and tight meeting schedules,
we merged these two like-minded groups recently! We'd love your
help in re-activatingour local sustainable living, design, and info
networkby focusing on spreading the word that we are 're-booting'
our local meetingschedule, info access point (a hybrid blog), and
local businesssupport activities.

We are planning the OCTOBER 4th meeting to be a
WORKING MEETING (with a local beer or non-alcohol refreshment
in hand!) to rebuild our local chapters of these two great international
grassroots green culture monthly networking meetings.

Date: Wed October 4th, 2006
Location: fergie's pub upstairs
1st wednesday's 6-8pm or so
1214 sansom street
philadelphia
http://www.fergies.com

Time: 6-8pm-ish

note: greendrinks is a casual CASH BAR protocol: no dues,
no entry, just your bar tab + a positive attitude!

www.greendrinks.org

www.o2.org
www.o2-usa.org
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/o2mailinglist/

Background:
After 2 years of some really great meetings discussing
a lot of sides of what is 'green' in, around, and connected
to Philadelphia over some drinks, we at [greendrinks]Philadelphia
are ready + interested in are-launch/re-boot to make things better.
We started this local meeting to find an evening when all types of
green thinkers and doers could come out and meet over some drinks.
The greendrinks phenomenon is a world-wide success; we want to
make it a local success!

Relatedly, we simultaneously started a 'green design' meeting called:
o2 Philadelphia. This is a local chapter of the o2 Global Sustainable
Design Network (this meeting was an hour before greendrinks started
andfocused specifically on green design by artists, architects, designers,
multimedia people etc....)

We met a lot of you and made some wonderful new friends. Some came
back every month (thanks so much!) and some of you we saw once and
never again...(this always left us wondering what we could have done to
keep you coming back...). Our goal was and is to create a form of an
casual,very social, green 'salon' (as UTNE reader calls them) in the spirit
of so many previous artist + intellectual get-togethers, networking, etc....
the only difference is ours focuses on green living, topics, opportunities,
etc. over some drinks.

Here is some of the thinking:

Format
We discussed many times whether we should change things up a bit:
i.e. add 'green content' (lectures, films, demos, etc.) to the evening or just
leave it a casual agenda to just socialize. Most folks said just leave it a
socialevening. We appreciate this directness (yet we also know that
many folks really DO want something a bit different each month to keep
you all coming back!)

Relatedly, we wondered if coming out for a beer once a month is really
'enough of a draw' to get folks out and talking + sharing green
issues/ideas/events as many of the local blogs/mail lists also do...
and many of you do daily...

Personal Schedules
And...of course...we totally understand the whole balance of time,
home life, work,other events, etc. - no question about this! This is why
we tried to get the idea of 'One Green Nite a Month©' idea/slogan going
to give you a target night...

Question:
Is there another night/time that folks would prefer over
'1st Weds of the Month'? (we have heard several times of other groups
wecould merge with on other nights...do we want to do this?
Shall we give it a shot? See next topic)

Attendance Critical Mass
Our attendance varied monthly-sometimes wildly-and we continually
worked on how best to make this local chapter of greendrinks work while
not quitting our day jobs to do this casual networking project...it was
always better when we had more folks there. Also, we recently closed the
earlier o2 meeting time and just merged it with our greendrinks meeting.
The more the better we figured. There are several local groups we
appreciate and would like to join with perhaps. Also, we are SERIOUSLY
evaluating if there are local green/sustainable collaborations that we can
forge who can offer a bit more PR/administrative/infomation management/etc.
collaboration with: ideas are welcome. We would welcome coordinating with
other like-minded groups to have a monthly place/time to meet and discuss
ideas instead of just emailing each other!

Question:
how can we get a more people to come out and share their green
ideas, discussion, etc. once a moth on a regular basis?
What groups could merge?

Well, we hit our 2 year milestone happily and would like to offer
some of the new ideas we are working on to get you all to come
out and get social with your green energy and ideas. Most of these
ideas are from discussions at greendrinks and ideas offered randomly
in emails etc. Although it has been a great beginning, we certainly also
learned of a few issues that made the first years a bit bumpy for some of
you all to participate as well. With this email we invite your input + help
in making this next chapter of our short history so far work even better.

Some issues we would like to work on with you:

Location:
As many of you know, we have met 'regularly' at Fergies on Sansom
in Center City Philadelphia. It is a great institution in downtown
Philadelphia. All in all, it has gone pretty well there- all our great new
green friends had a nice time meeting there. Sometimes-though-
we had a slightly less than stable reservation (i.e we got bumped
downstairs from our regular upstairs meeting spot a few too many
times to some of your liking-we totally understand: Fergies is a popular
meeting place locally!- but, it was difficult for many to know if we were
even meeting sometimes due to last minute rearranging to downstairs
location that had to happen- we apologize for this non-intended confusion
and are working on a more stable meeting arrangement!).
Also, we definitely heard + felt as well some critical thoughts about the
air quality issue. We've heard this will subside as of Jan 07- but we totally
agree that we would all LOVE a more healthy fresh air experience + space
while meeting.
Note: other cities sometimes move weekly/monthly to new locations
to keep things fresh- we opted originally for consistency. We recently got
access to a local art gallery not far from Fergies which is VERY spacious,
welcoming, great for AV presentations, etc. IF we wish to use it on a
continual basis-it could be a more conducive space to dialogue perhaps.

Question:
Any ideas on an appropriate space / location
that is central + public transit/bike/walk friendly?

Web Presence:
We started out with a website and then...
we let it go because of opportunities for a blog format got our attention.
We plan to use a modified blog format which has our vital information
and some updates/links, but will keep the blog chatting to a MINIMUM
(i.e. just facts about upcoming events heard about, etc.).
The price is better also.

Question:
What would you LIKE + NEED at our new + improved
hybrid 'blogsite' ?

Local Approach:
We are VERY VERY interested to spotlight and encourage enjoying
LOCAL breweries, etc. together with local light fare (i.e. munchies)
during our get togethers. The issue is how to get to these
OR get them to us...

Question:
Would folks appreciate more of a 'local beverages tasting' type
get together to start the evening (perhaps with a local beverage
makers representative there?). We can extend this to local fresh healthy
munchies type foods as well...

Content:
This remains open. Many folks really do appreciate a bit of a 'prompt'
in the way of a SHORT film/video, or a lecture by a local or
visiting specialist,even a green materials vendor stopping in to show
what is 'new + notable'...

Question:
What kind of new format can we create that allows for 'some' info provided
to focus on (a topic headline, a new movie, etc.) but still allow for folks
to just meet casually and discuss topics in a non-pressured manner?

Dues/Membership:
We have never had a formal system for this based upon what
we saw happening in other locals. We would like to keep the administration
and especially costs to everyone at minimum to zero.
So far this has worked out.
If folks have other ideas on IF we should start this and what it could provide
us with, we ARE open...ultimately, we just wish to keep this a really
alternative approach to social meeting/networking.

In closing, this email is the first step in making some changes at
[greendrinks]Philadelphia to improve things to everyone's liking (hopefully!)
We would sincerely appreciate feedback and your comments on how
to get more momentum happening with the great group of green thinking
people around the Philadelphia area...we need your input + help
to make it work.

Thanks much in advance for your participation!
