Providence Green Drinks is sponsored by the Rhode Island Environmental Network. We have had monthly gatherings in
Join us each month on "Thirsty Third Thursday" to share fine food, drinks and conversation!
The gatherings attract several dozen people each month, including environmentally-interested people from all walks of life, basically anyone interested professionally or personally in things green. Folks hail from advocacy-oriented and educational NGOs, academia, green businesses, and government, and they come from all over our great little state, as well as Connecticut and Massachusetts, but mainly the Providence area. Through this network, people exchange information and ideas, develop professional and personal friendships, find jobs, develop synergies, help with others' projects, become more involved through community volunteering, and have lots of fun!
We have our gatherings at a different venue each month. Occasionally there is a featured speaker but usually it's just networking in a casual way. Every month there are always lots of new faces so stop by and introduce yourself! People come and go between 5-8 pm, although some stay much later.
We gather in Providence every month on the third Thursday - "Thirsty Third Thursday" - and there are also the occassional "bonus" state-wide Green Drinks gatherings on the beach in the summer and other locations around the state from time to time. As mentioned, the venue changes constantly so get on the email list (max of two emails per month) to stay informed as to the upcoming locations.
