Green Drinks Summer BBQ

If you've wanted to catch up on who is doing what in the bustling arena of grassroots action in Vancouver, here's your chance!

The folks who organise the monthly Green Drinks social event in Vancouver have generously invited a number of community-minded groups to join them for their annual summer BBQ at Jericho Park. This is a good opportunity to spend an evening picnicing at the beach while socialising with people who share your interest in taking action on global warming and other environmental issues.

Invited groups include: VTACC, Climate Cafe, Community Climate Change/Global Warming Cafe, Be The Change, Village Vancouver, Boiling Point Action Network, Relocalize/Post Carbon/Peak Oil Vancouver, BCSEA, and others. The Tyee has also agreed to announce the winner of their Green Your Campbell cash campaign (http://contest.thetyee.ca/greenyourcampbellcash/) at the BBQ.

The BBQ is a largely self-organised event, so BYO food, frisbees, croquet, acquostic musical instruments, bocce, badminton and so on. One or two communal BBQs will be available to use, and feel free to bring (and share!) your own BBQ equipment as well. Everyone is striving to make this a low impact event, so please avoid disposables, and pack out what you pack in.

Please RSVP to Green Drinks if plan to attend so that they can gauge the number of people to expect: greendrinksvancouver@gmail.com Remember: July 30th is also a fireworks night.

(If you are involved in any other community-building, grassroots environmental efforts, you are welcome to bring information to share with others, but keep these guidelines in mind: no advertising banners, no sales, no amplified sound, and please take away any left over materials when you leave. Thanks!)

We hope to meet you at Jericho on the 30th!
