Next on: 24th August 2010, from 8pm
Venue: Malones, KL Sentral
Sooka Central, Jalan Stesen Sentral 5
You are invited to Green Drinks August.
As the last Tuesday of the month falls on Merdeka Day, we have moved this month's get-together up a week to the 24th... and because of buka puasa, we will meet at the new Malones at KL Sentral (see link to map below), instead of The Apartment.
This month is OPEN MIC month. Come and share ideas, initiatives, thoughts, hopes, frustrations (minimal bitching!) and questions with the rest of us. Collectively we know a huge amount of really useful stuff for this to be... really useful! (Btw, by 'know', I don't just mean 'know the answers' but also 'know' the questions).
We would need to 'self-organise', either by posting ideas, thoughts, initiatives etc etc on this event page or coming with those ideas, thoughts, questions ready to share and/or be shared to!
We may want to break into smaller ad-hoc 'groups of common interest' following the 'Laws' of Open Space Groups -
1. Whoever comes are the right people
2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have
3. When it starts is the right time
4. When its over its over
5. If you aren't in a place where you are learning or contributing, go somewhere where you can.
We'll play it by ear!
Cheers,
Steve

WHO:
Anyone with an interest in local and international environmental and sustainability issues - all ages, backgrounds and groups - non-profits, academia, government, small business, big business, self-employed, volunteers, students, concerned citizens, curious people... and everything in between. T-Shirt or a suit, come as you are. Call in for 10 minutes or stay as long as you like. You don't even to have a drink to be a Green Drinker!
WHY:
Fun, contacts, drinks, info, gossip, inspiration, business, and pleasure.
WHEN:
The last Tuesday of every month, from 8pm
WHERE:
The Apartment, KLCC (by the park and fountain), Lot 139 Suria KLCC (the shopping centre at the Petronas Twin Towers)
COST:
FREE! No fees. Buy your own drinks... or practice the art of persuassion on a friend!
HOW IT WORKS:
Sign in at the door (so we can keep in touch). Grab a nametag (or find your old one). Get a drink and/or food (optional). Mingle.
Not sure how to start? The most common method is to randomly start listening in on whatever conversation is going on... eavesdropping and lurking are socially acceptable at Green Drinks!
Green Drinkers are welcome to display cards, brochures, info sheets, posters, magazines, newsletters etc on the table... just remember to take whatever is left on the table away with you when you leave.
QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS and COMMENTS:
These are always welcome. Please email one of the organisers. Join our Facebook Group... start and participate in discussions there.
