Green Drinks is a monthly networking event where people in the environmental field and the sustainably minded meet over drinks (alcoholic or non), usually in an informal setting to exchange ideas, find out who’s doing what and spread the word on what you're doing, find employment leads and make new friends and contacts.
Green Drinks is an international, self-organizing networking group and the 2008 Hudson Valley Green Drinks launch party was held on Tuesday, April 22, at Mahoney's Irish Pub at 35 Main Street, Dooley Square, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 from 6:30 to 9:30pm. Over 60 people came out for the first HV Green Drinks. Please check the calendar for upcoming events.
Held at a different location around the Hudson Valley on the second Tuesday of each month (unless noted on the calendar), you’ll meet a mix from NGOs, academia, government, green business, green builders, alternative healthcare, organic farming, authors and artists all involved either professionally or personally in the environmental field. One goal is to have policy makers and planners hanging out monthly over a couple of drinks discussing local plans and concerns with developers, scientists and environmental engineers. It's amazing how a more informal setting can help with understanding positions and concerns.
Events are held from Kingston/Rhinebeck to the north to Beacon/Newburgh to the south. Events are held in locally owned establishments and each month it's held on the opposite side of the Hudson to give people a possible break when driving. You are encouraged to put "2nd Tues of each month - Green Drinks!" no matter where it's held. Each city is within reasonable driving distance and if you car pool - even better!
Please be sure to bring lots of business cards to share and please, always remember to drink responsibly.
Check the calendar to save the dates for future Hudson Valley Green Drinks, most 2nd Tuesdays (except where noted).
See you at a Hudson Valley Green Drinks event soon!

Support HVGD
It would be lovely if HVGD could just exist with no money being necessary. Alas, that isn't reality. You can help by using Chip In to contribute what you can to help offset operating costs. Every dollar helps so no contribution is too small. Thanks in advance! http://hudsonvalleygreendrinks.chipin.com/hvgd-operating-costs
