East Bay Green Drinks (Oakland Downtown)

Join us in going to meet other folks involved in green building, green business, and community. It's purely social, but there's great business connections, perhaps your future neighbors in community (or the folks who will help you finance or build it); read about a past one here (http://www.ebcoho.org/calendar/14729790) or last year's August here (http://www.ebcoho.org/events/28186351/) or June 2012 here (http://www.ebcoho.org/events/62891802/) or July 2012 here (http://www.ebcoho.org/events/67505182/). EBCOHO Member Marcia (http://www.ebcoho.org/members/12839692/) wrote about a recent gathering: met interesting, warm folks of like-mind and made a good contact for job possibility -- perfect

We've bumped into a bunch of EBCOHO members at past East Bay Green Drinks gatherings. RSVP on this MeetUp so we'll know to look for you. Note:Drinks are not included. Check the location each month, it rotates between Berkeley, Oakland and elsewhere.

The event runs 5:30-7:30 PM. Note it can be loud and is very informal, with no program. Usually there are around 50 there, about 10 from EBCOHO.

It’s fun, it’s inspiring, it’s informal, it’s friendly, and it’s where we come together for the most important thing we need to sustain our work and community - it’s where we connect.
