DJ JOURNEY & GREEN DRINKS WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO SOLAR ONE

 
Fully solar powered venue will feature incredible views, complimentary food,
and an open bar at the nation’s premier eco-networking event

 
New York, NY – On Tuesday, June 9th 2009, starting at 6pm, Green Drinks NYC (http://www.greendrinksnyc.com) again hosts an outdoor event at Solar One – New York City’s first solar-powered arts and education center.
 
“You don’t have to be a green energy enthusiast to realize the power of watching the sun set over the East River while it powers the very event you are attending – we are extremely excited to once again host this year’s event at Solar One,” said Margaret Lydecker, founder of Green Drinks NYC.
 
In addition to the stunning views, the Green Drinks NYC event will feature a diverse array of opportunities to network, both professionally and personally. A dynamic group of 7 Green Drinkers will speak on various projects, the increasingly popular speed networking sessions will be bustling, and the usual array of diverse business professionals and entrepreneurs will be there to meet. DJ Journey will be spinning and dancing will take place into the night.
 
Attendees will enjoy an open bar thanks to the generosity of Steaz, Sambazon, Crop Organic Vodka, Cuca Fresca (caipirinhas), and local brewery Six Point Craft Ales, along with complimentary food thanks to The City Bakery, Rabbit Mafia catering, Organic Nectars, Dagoba Chocolates, Chipotle, and Chickpea. 
 
In keeping with the low-impact energy theme, in-town hybrid car service will be provided by NYC Green Car, New York’s premier hybrid car service (http://www.nycgreenar.com). Free admission is provided to anyone who swims or kayaks over from Brooklyn.
 
Sponsor tables will be attended by Take Shape for Life, a provider of life health coaches, Tri-State Biodiesel, a New York City-based company dedicated to providing the surrounding region with clean, renewable Biodiesel fuel made from recycled cooking oil, Community Wind Energy, dedicated to supplying the demand for fuel-free energy through the construction of new wind farms, and Sustainable NYC, a local store that offers organic, fair-trade, re-purposed, biodegradable products and gifts.

Silent auction prizes include a private wine tasting from Long Island-based Martha Clara Vineyards, a Harbor Adventure Tour from LIC Boathouse, Clean Plate NYC books, and rental gift certificates from Gear to Go Outfitters, among others. A portion of event proceeds go to benefit Solar One as they have every year. Tickets are $20 in advance and can be purchased here: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/69161, or $25 at the door.
