Annapolis Green Drinks is growing!

annapolis green drinks logoThe little group Lynne gathered in early 2006 to bring together those vested in the environment has grown into a fun, interesting and inspiring crowd. It seems that every time we have a get together there are more people sharing great ideas. We are drawing around 100 people to each event but we're still trying to keep it personal and encouraging networking around the room. 

It’s fascinating to learn of so many green related businesses and initiatives that have started up just within the last year. Our group's goal is to bring together all of us who share a passion for the environment and concern for our Chesapeake Bay. Casual, fun, unstructured .... with drinks and great green ideas! Pass the word and email us to tell us who we should add to our roster.

About Us

Long ago, in a place far, far away... No, not really. It started with a couple of friends talking about how it's not easy to get the big picture of Green initiatives in the Annapolis area. Why not gather info from the community and put it all in one place for the benefit of all?

That's what we're doing. The Annapolis Green website/Green Drinks combo was was the brainchild of Elvia Thompson and Lynne Forsman.

Lynne Forsman has a 25-year hospitality background (hotels, meeting planning and past owner of Nautical Destinations, a group yacht charter on the Chesapeake Bay). She is now semi-retired and involved with with Greener Results consulting, ecruisers electric motorcar shuttles, and advertising, and on the Board of Green Meetings Industry Council.

Elvia Thompson is President of Stellar Presentations, Inc, a Board member of the Spa Creek Conservancy, the Oyster Harbor Citizens Association and the Annapolis Maritime Museum, and a member of the Anne Arundel County Steering Committee of the Maryland League of Conservation Voters. Retired from journalism and a communications career in the Federal government, Elvia heads a successful web and print design business in Annapolis.

We welcome your ideas on how to make this a real community effort, providing needed information to all.
