July Topics
  • BBQ and Open HouseWe had a blast!  Lots of new people came to learn about us.
    • Information:  Tons of information was posted and layed out around the house so people could browse and learn about all the great organizations doing good works.  We also had information about our past, upcoming and annual events.
    • Guess Your Back:  Each guest got the name and information of an organization that we have supported pinned to their back, then had to guess what it was by asking Yes or No questions.  Prizes went to the first 3 people to guess (all eco-friendly gifts of course!).  It helped people mingle and learn about all the great organizations we support.
    • Tequila Tasting:  Filtering won again!  Most people chose the cheap tequila that had been filtered over the expensive tequila.  Mmmmm....what shall we filter next?
    • Toss the Bottles:  Much has been debated about plastic bottles.  Most serious environmentalist say avoid them altogether and stick to reusable bottles.  So we competed to see who could toss the most reclyclable plastic water bottles in the reclycling bin.  The winner received a Britta water filter and the 2 runner ups won reusable water bottles.
