October 20, 2009, 6.30- 7pm

This month, please join us at Green Drinks Middle Georgia to share your ideas and thoughts about "green" topics such as recycling programs, expanding on the Keep WR Beautiful Program, ways of supporting the locally owned businesses/economy, alternative energy models, etc. with the mayoral and council candidates along with the current mayor and council. Our events are very simple and unstructured with a lively mixture of people from NGOs, academia, government and business. The gatherings are held monthly on the third Tuesdays at Calvin's Live, 1281 S Houston Lake Rd. from 6-7.30pm.

Please invite everyone you know and come along to learn and share!

A green visit with Dad

I've been busy the last couple of weeks with a visit from my father. From day one, we tore down an old patio roof, designed and built a new roof! What fun even though the heat index was near 100 degrees! Thank goodness for a pool! We reused all the wood and metal brackets and purchased metal sheets for the roof. By raising the roof to 14 feet at one end, we were able to install a window found at Habitat for Humanity Restore for a fraction of the cost, what a deal!!

Even though he had to leave a few days before Father's Day, we had the best time working and playing together. I so much enjoy spending time with my dad, learning and exploring ideas or places we have not been to. I wouldn't trade these times for anything and I so look forward to my visits with him either here in Georgia or in California where he resides.

Thank you Dad for all your hard work on this project, for the new tools, and for teaching me new concepts, patience and good times! Happy Father's Day and always! I love you!!
