Green Drinks - December 11 - Angel Arms Studio Snohomish

Join us Wednesday, December 11th from 5 to 7 p.m. Celebrating Sustainability with Futurewise and Pilchuck Audubon Society at Angel Arms Works in Snohomish www.AngelArmsWorks.org  at the home and art studio of Snohomish Mayor, Karen Guzak and her life-partner Warner Blake. Learn more about the contributions and upcoming work of Futurewise and Pilchuck Audubon Society for Snohomish County and enjoy a tour of the beautiful Angel Arms Works.


Karen and Warner purchased the former St. Michael’s catholic church in 1993 and have made many modifications designed with the community in mind.  Angel Arms Works has recently added solar to their already sustainable efforts! A 24 panel solar array with panels manufactured by Marysville’s Silicon Energy now resides on the south-facing rooftop of the building.


Kristin Kelly is Snohomish Country Program Director for Futurewise and Smart Growth Director for Pilchuck Audubon Society.   Futurewise is working throughout Washington State to create livable communities, protect our working farmlands, forests, and waterways, and ensure a better quality of life for present and future generations.

The Smart Growth Program has been an integral part of Pilchuck Audubon since the early 1990s, and works to train and empower local citizens to work for better growth management to stem the consequences of irresponsible development, and to ensure that sensitive areas and wildlife habitat maintain a high profile in growth management debates.

Green Drinks at McMenamins on Oct 9th from 5 to 7pm

Due to scheduling challenges, the Green Drinks at Snoqualmie Ice Cream Café is being postponed until next month: Wednesday, November 13th – Save the Date!

Join us this Wednesday, October 9th, at the McMenamins Mill Creek for Happy Hour! The fun begins at 5 pm and we’ll be hanging around until 7 pm. If you haven’t been to McMenamins before you’re in for a treat! An onsite brewery services the pub with about a dozen handcrafted ales from fermenting tanks in a brewery visible through a glass window. As the pub regulars will tell you, the Mill Creek brewery makes a mean IPA, not to be missed! This event will be a no-host event.
 
Sustainability at McMenamins:
They employ two environmental coordinators (one of whom has held this position for more than 15 years) who oversee reducing, reusing and recycling the company's waste including composting. They also work to prevent energy waste and promote energy savings and efficiency. They use as many earth-friendly products as possible. They have four company vehicles that use biodiesel, including two beer delivery trucks. Even their brewing is Earth-Friendly! Much of the brewing equipment is purchased second-hand and retrofitted to suit McMenamins' needs and kegs are purchased from other breweries or industrial recycling plants. Join us to learn more!
