Vancouver Green Drinks August 25, 2009

This month we will meet on Aug 25th, at Lapellah near the new Fred Meyer store off of HWY 14
As usual intros will start @ 6 PM-feel free to gather earlier. We will be outside on the patio on the north side of the building. They have umbrellas for shade, dress accordingly.
This month our 5 min spiel speaker will be Kelley Beamer of Friends of the Columbia Gorge. The basic message will be about the Friends of the Columbia Gorge and their efforts to protect the scenic, natural, cultural and recreational resources in the Gorge. Friends leads over 75 public hikes and stewardship events in the Gorge each year and works to ensure the Gorge remains a natural treasure for future generations to enjoy. She'll talk about our upcoming hiking season and what folks can do to get involved.
For our local business showcase, we will have a rep from Lapellah speak about their shade of green which consists of food composting, reclaimed lumber interior, and more. www.Lapellah.com
